State (''Cayuga II''), 1 N.E. 770 (N.Y. 1885).〕 was an early litigation of aboriginal title in New York, with the Canadian Cayugas seeking to recovery compensation from a prior land cession. ==Background== The Cayugas ceded 1,536,000 acres to the state in 1789 and 1795.〔 The 30-mile-wide strip ran from Lake Ontario to Pennsylvania.〔 In 1789, following the cession, many of the Cayugas relocated to Canada.〔 In 1795, another group relocated to Ohio.〔 The Canadian Cayugas, led by chief O-ja-gegh-ti,〔 sought to recover, plus 72 years of interest,〔 a portion of a $2,300 perpetual annuity that New York had only been paying to Cayugas residing in New York and Ohio, pursuant to a 1796 treaty written on deerskin〔—or two treaties dated 1789 and 1795,〔〔〔''The Canadian Indians' Annuity'', N.Y. Times, Mar. 12, 1885, at 5.〕 or two treaties dated 1790 and 1795〔—and reaffired in the 1814 Treaty of Ghent (which ended the War of 1812).〔 The Canadian Cayugas had not received payments since 1809,〔 by 1884, and sought total compensation of $83,000〔''The Cayuga Indians' Claim'', N.Y. Times, Aug. 6, 1884, at 5.〕 or $100,000,〔''The Cayuga Indians' Claim'', N.Y. Times, May 5, 1884, at 1.〕 and by 1885, $400,000 or $500,000.〔〔 The Board of Land Commissioners reported to the state legislature in 1849, recommending that the claim be paid.〔 The legislature took no action.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「That Portion of the Cayuga Indians Residing in Canada v.
