For more on what this is about, see here. The claim includes eastern parts of the Town of Dryden.

This falls in the "utterly disgraceful" category; eventually, some future US Supreme Court is going to have to do what the Supreme Court of Canada did and order payment of reparations. It's merely a matter of time, and the interest is mounting. A theory of law based on rank prejudice, which is what the "Indian only laches" theory is, cannot stand forever.
