Mohawk land sale veto delays Fort Covington firehouse plan
Mohawk Indians challenge New York State land sale to Fort Covington for a firehouse saying the six acres near the St. Regis Reservation were acquired in 1816 without a proper U.S. Indian affairs officer present. Governor Rockefeller vetoed the transfer while leaving open future approval, citing ongoing legal action by the tribe and pending determinations of land rights.
