End Of Dispute Between New York And Indian Tribe May 11, 2003
The Pataki administration and the St. Regis Mohawk tribe have resolved a last-minute dispute that held up the signing of an agreement to settle the tribe's land-claim lawsuit and open the way for a new Mohawk-run casino in the Catskills, an administration official said today.
The agreement is expected to be signed in the next few days, as soon as Gov. George E. Pataki and tribal chiefs can arrange a suitable time, the official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity.
Considered a minor obstacle, the dispute centered on the state's demand that wholesalers who sell products on the reservation be licensed by the state. The tribe objected because it makes cigarettes and saw the licensing requirement as an infringement on its sovereignty.
As a compromise, the two sides have agreed to let the tribe sell its cigarettes, but only on the reservation, the official said.
Under the overall agreement, the tribe would receive about $100 million over the next 35 years from the state and federal governments to resolve its claim that it was unfairly tricked out of thousands of acres more than two centuries ago.
The money would be used to buy about 7,000 acres from willing sellers adjacent to the St. Regis reservation, which straddles the St. Lawrence Seaway in the northern Adirondacks and Canada. The tribe would also receive two islands in the seaway and 95 acres of other state-owned land on Messina Point, officials said.
The Mohawks would open a new casino in the Catskills and add slot machines to the existing Akwesasne Casino in St. Regis. In return, the state would receive a fifth of the revenue from slot machines at the new casino, and that share would grow to one-quarter in four years, or at least $100 million annually, officials said.
Once signed, the agreement would require several actions by the State
Legislature, federal agencies and Congress. On Thursday, three chiefs
from the tribe met with Senator Charles E. Schumer in Washington to seek
his help in expediting the tribe's application for a Catskill casino,
pending before the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Mr. Schumer said that once
the agreement was signed he would do all he could to speed up the process.
