The federal court dismissed the Onondaga land rights action in 2010

Evidence

In the spring of 2010, the federal court handed down its ruling on the Onondaga Nation’s suit. The case was dismissed. … In the face of blind injustice, how do we continue? How do we live our responsibility for healing? — Robin Wall Kimmerer, Braiding Sweetgrass, 1179

Categorization

• QUESTION: Why exactly was the suit dismissed — on standing, statute of limitations, or comity grounds? A research trail worth chasing for Legal Systems course material.
• XREF: The ‘justice was denied yet stewardship continues’ pattern mirrors ch77’s Onondaga Creek account and the broader theme that broken treaties don’t end the covenant.
