Let's look inside the October 26th Observer.

On page two of the October 26th issue, an article from Salamanca.

Assemblywoman proposes tighter limits on screens in schools.

I think that must have something to do with computer screens or phones.

Let's find out.

It's by John Whitaker.

The reaction was swift earlier this year when the Salamanca City Central School District proposed using a Realbotics, that apparently is a company name spelled real plus botics as in robot, R-E-A-L-B-O-T-I-X.

She said, even if you got cheated out of your land, even if it was fraud, however you lost control over that land, once you've lost it, it's never coming back.

Even though, like I said, 15 years prior, Congress passed the Salamanca Lease Settlement Act.

which allowed the Senecas to, they even gave them the money to buy their land back and then acknowledge that this land was not going to be issued as a state deed or held in trust.

No, you are going to reclaim this land in your original Seneca title.

So what was that treaty making? Because I maintain to this day that all of the treaties that were offered to Native people were fraud.

And I say that because I don't believe the United States ever intended to honor those agreements.

You know, look, I mentioned this on a previous show when I talked about the Salamanca lease agreement.

The city of Salamanca leased the land for that municipality from the Senecas on a 99-year lease.

And, and it's insulting.

And, you know, and look, I know I even recently had a conversation with somebody from from Seneca, from the Allegheny territory, where the city of Salamanca, again, has has a native mascot.

And he was concerned that the state was forcing them to get rid of their their native mascot.

And I explained to him, I said, well, first off, let's be clear here.

The state has...

We put together an exception that allowed the Seneca Nation to grant permission for the Salamanca School District to keep their mascot.

But here's the problem with Salamanca.

The name of their team are the Warriors, but their logo or mascot is actually a chief.

Well, you, you did-

Sala- Salamanca, New York, and Spokane-

Salamanca, really? I coulda went to that

...

Spokane, Washington.

So there was a lease that the Senecas had entered into for what would essentially be a municipality.

And so the city of Salamanca, exists on the Allegheny territory of the Seneca Nation.

It's one of the two major territories that are part of the Seneca Nation's land holdings.

And like 95, 98% of the city of Salamanca, non-native city now, keep in mind, this is just a regular, almost essential, I say regular, it's a New York municipality.

And it exists on Seneca land.

And for 99 years, this was the lease that existed.

Well, that lease came up due in the just before the 1990s.

And there was a lot of conversation that was going about how they would they renew the lease? Well, how do you deal with the fact that there was such inequity with the first lease, with the existing lease? So what came out of the conflict that had brewed for a really unfair lease for 99 years and how to proceed, go forward, was an act of Congress that was passed in 1990 called the Salamanca Lease Settlement Act.
