Moreover, the treaty was set in place to ensure that the land remained the land of our tribes. We agreed to share the land amongst our new brothers, so long as the land was to be taken care of. It has recently come to our attention that the treaty has been violated. The upkeep of the land and waters has been neglected. Due to the lack of respect towards the lands and waters of our people, we have sought a reinstatement of our rights over the land. We ask for these rights to be restored so that we may take the actions necessary to restore the land and prevent the damages from posing larger environmental threats down the line. It should be noted that our land rights have been recognized within 3 prior treaties during 1784, 1789, and 1794. We have asked the state of New York to hear our case and have been denied our right to take actions to court. Therefore, we feel that we have been denied justice under bogus terms
