The state of New York is appealing a federal judge's decision to keep the Oneida land claim open.
The state wants the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals to block the Oneidas of New York, Wisconsin and Canada from seeking compensation for the loss of 250,000 acres. Last month, Judge Lawrence Kahn said the tribes were entitled to money from the state.
A lawyer for the Oneida Nation of Wisconsin said the state's move could reopen the entire case.
A spokesperson for the Oneida Nation of New York said the tribe was reviewing the state's request.
Hurd issued the ruling on a motion for summary judgment. He certified it for immediate appeal by any of the parties.
