The federal Bureau of Indian Affairs got an earful Wednesday night, june 17, 2009 on the Cayuga Indian Nation's bid to place about 125 acres of ancestral homeland in Cayuga and Seneca counties into federal trust. Possibly 1,000 or more people jammed into the athletic center at the New York Chiropractic College in Seneca Falls for the last hearing on the nation's bid to be awarded sovereign tax-free land from the BIA. This video is of Richard Ricci, of Seneca Falls giving a three minute statement.

  • FUCK THE BIA!!!! it really means bossing indian around! or bueraucrats in action

  • In the U.S.A. Manifest Destiny ('God' has spoken and given us the right to take any land we want and kill any people who get in our way), is still their way. The genocide of the First Nations has never stopped. Buffy Ste-Marie's song still applies.Now that the aristocracy of the US is out in the open about their intent (rule like tyrants - like in the Gulf of Mexico), I fear that the killing and destruction of culture will intensify. They have invaded and destroyed democracy all over the world

  • @ubuibiok ,Some more of "our" land???? they have zero land now.

    You only see it your way! You greedy people won't be happy untill u have every last square inch of Native land.And yes we do pay taxes in most cases.

  • *****

  • Rich is a brave hard working citizen who has been standing up to our own federal government and the "Cayuga nation" for years now. They claim the land is theirs - - they sold it..... they've been paid for it 8 times, they want it back.

    The Bureau of Indian Affairs is a corrupt federal agency that's main purpose is to maintain it's existence and destroy taxpayers rights by suing them, with their own tax money, while the Indians pay none.

    Good job Rich!!!!!!!!!!!!.

  • awesome, put his statement together very well
