The Onondaga Nation has used its historic land rights to achieve a huge victory on Nov. 16, 2009.  A federal judge gave the go-ahead for a new plan to use green technology to protect Onondaga Creek and Onondaga Lake from sewage, storm water, and other pollution.

“This success shows again how Indian nations can use their political power and their legal rights to achieve important goals that benefit everyone in the region and protect the Earth itself,” said Robert T. Coulter, Executive Director of the Indian Law Resource Center.

The Indian Law Resource Center represents the Onondaga Nation in its historic land rights lawsuit and has worked with the Nation to help develop its legal strategy for protecting the land, cleaning up Onondaga Lake, and improving water quality.
