<title>Judge sustains part of Mohawk land claim</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/20603/20121004/judge-sustains-part-of-mohawk-land-claim</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Oct 4, 2012) Native tribes&apos; claims to ancestral lands in New York haven&apos;t fared so well recently.  In 2005, the U.S. Supreme Court essentially dismissed the Oneida Nation&apos;s land claim, saying too much time had passed since the 18th century treaties the claims are based on.  Other courts have followed that ruling with other tribes&apos; land claims.So this week, when a judge recommended throwing out 85% of the Mohawk land claim in St. Lawrence and Franklin counties, the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe focused on the 15% that has a chance to survive.

<title>Can Albany settle the century-old Raquette Lake land dispute?</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/19915/20120601/can-albany-settle-the-century-old-raquette-lake-land-dispute</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Jun 1, 2012) This weekend in the Hamilton County community of Raquette Lake, landowners will gather to hear a proposal that could change New York state’s constitution.For generations, their community has been in conflict with the state over land claims affecting more than 200 parcels.  Locals and seasonal residents say the property is privately owned.  But state officials, and some environmental groups, have argued that much of the land is actually part of the state forest preserve and should be kept “forever wild.”As Brian Mann reports, this is the latest effort to sort out one of the Adirondack Park’s oldest and thorniest disputes.
