Honorable Nations

POV – Season 4

For 99 years, the residents of Salamanca, N.Y. have rented the land under their homes for an average of $1/year from the Seneca Indians, under the terms of a lease imposed by Congress. Now, as the lease is about to expire, a century of bad business must be renegotiated. The survival of an American town and justice for the Senecas appear to be in conflict.
