Cayuga Nation Condemns Destruction of School and Other Structures on Indigenous Land

HeadlineMar 02, 2020

Members of the Cayuga Nation are sounding the alarm after multiple buildings, including a school, were raided and destroyed last weekend in Seneca Falls, New York. A press conference to address the destruction this weekend ended in violence after Cayuga Nation police reportedly attacked Cayuga chiefs. The demolitions were ordered by the Cayuga Nation Council, whose leader, Clint Halftown, is not recognized as legitimate by many members of the nation. Some local authorities have called the destruction acts of domestic terrorism.
