CAYUGA NATION — Request for Proposals
The Cayuga Nation in New York State requests proposals from qualified firms or individuals to advise the Nation in preparing a plan to develop the Nation’s economy.
The Cayuga Nation is a federally-recognized sovereign Indian nation. It is a member nation of the Haudenosaunee, or Six Nations Confederacy. The Nation is governed according to a traditional Haudenosaunee and Cayuga law and custom. The Nation has approximately 485 enrolled citizens. The Nation currently does not own any land that is held in trust by the federal government. It holds several parcels of land in fee simple ownership. The Treaty of Canandaigua of 1794 recognized a Cayuga Reservation of approximately 64,000 acres in Seneca and Cayuga Counties, New York. The boundaries of this Reservation have never been terminated. The Nation does not own or operate a casino or other gambling enterprise. It owns and operates a number of small enterprises within the Cayuga Reservation. The Nation does not have a separate economic development corporation.

This is great wine country. Maybe the nation should look into partnering with someone who could exploit the natural environment to grow increasingly good and popular Finger Lakes region wines. Just a thought.
