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

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.
