Mohawks moving community
MOSS LAKE, N.Y. (AP) - A
band of Indians that seized hun
dreds of acres of lush forest
land in the Adirondacks is mov
ing its community nail by nail
after surviving three winters in
handmade cabins and the hos
tility of its white neighbors.
The Indians —about 30 fami
lies of the Mohawk tribe — are
trying to be self-sufficient and
live off the land. They lived in
the cabins reportedly without
electricity or plumbing.
“What brings us here is that
we don’t see any healthy future
for our children if they remain
in the reservation and in the
urban areas. There are great

Should have flown
dangers out there,” said the
group’s spokesman, Kak
wirakeron, a former Brooklyn
ironworker. “Our culture is on
the verge of extinction and we
must look seven generations
ahead.”
Now, after long negotiations
with the state, the Mohawks
have agreed to relocate in Clin
ton County, about 100 miles to
the northeast. They will be set
tling on an estimated 2,400 acres
of public land with fishing and
hunting rights on additional
land.
Under terms of the agree
ment with the state, the Indians
will rent farming, fishing and

camping rights by establishing
a model Indian village for pub
lic viewing.
But a spokesman for the
group said they still are not
giving up their original claim to
almost 12.5 million acres of land
in northern New York and
Vermont.
Mohawk Chief Joseph Brant
sold the land to New York State
in 1797 for SI,OOO. The Indians
claim the purchase violated a
1794 treaty that prohibited sale
of the land.
They are part of the growing
movement among Indians to
force the government to honor
treaties with their forefathers.
In May 1974, the Mohawks
took over an abandoned girls’
camp owned by the state near
here to push recognition for
their claim.
Tensions ran high a few
months after the Mohawks oc
cupied the abandoned camp
ground. Two whites were
wounded by gunfire as they
drove past the encampment.
The Indians claimed they had
been fired on first and refused
to allow investigators onto their
property.
Since then, they have been
living here in virtual seclusion.
No white man is allowed on the
settlement.
The Mohawks have assumed
traditional Indian names al
though their dress consists
mainly of T-shirts and jeans.
They grow their own food and
fish and hunt. Many gave up
good jobs and homes, according
to Kakwirakeron.
Carter,
Lance
to meet
WASHINGTON (AP) - Pres
ident Carter is meeting with his
embattled budget director, Bert
Lance, for their first announced
business session since Carter
declared his longtime friend ex
onerated of wrongdoing in his
private financial dealings.
A White House spokesman
said the lunch meeting today in
the Oval Office was a routine
discussion of budget matters
and the economy.
Meanwhile, White House
Press Secretary Jody Powell
said Wednesday that neither the
President nor any of his aides
had tried to influence the office
of the Comptroller of the
Currency in a decision last No
vember to lift restrictions
against a Calhoun, Ga., bank
formerly headed by Lance.
Powell said a member of
Carter’s transition team, John
Moore, was involved in con
sultations on the proposed pub
lic disclosure of the decision,
But the spokesman said the
consultations were initiated on
Dec. 1, more than a week after
the Nov. 22 decision had been
made.
“At no time did John Moore or
anyone else attempt to in
fluence the comptroller on this
matter,” Powell said.
The restrictions had been im
posed by the Comptroller of the
Currency against the Calhoun
National Bank of Calhoun, Ga.,
as part of an agreement in late
1975.
The agreement provided that
the bank, of which Lance was
chairman, take steps to make
certain that its officers be pre
vented from overdrawing their
accounts at the bank for politi
cal purposes.
The agreement with the
comptroller’s office was termi
nated on Nov. 22, just a few
weeks after Carter was elected
President. There have been
suggestions this was done to
keep the agreement from being
made public when Carter ap
pointed Lance director of the
Office of Management and
Budget.

Zeppo Marx
CATHEDRAL CITY, Calif. (AP) - Zeppo Marx says he
learned of the death of his brother Groucho on television
and was snubbed from the family’s memorial service.
“I turned on the TV the next day and there it was, he
was gone,” said Zeppo, 76, the youngest and only survivor
of the five brothers.
He said he was not invited to a gathering Sunday at the
home of Groucho’s son, Arthur, because he backed long
time Groucho companion, Erin Fleming, in a recent court
battle.
Zeppo spoke at a news conference Tuesday. Groucho
died Friday.
“The thing is I stood up for this girl Fleming,” said
Zeppo, who testified at a Los Angeles Superior Court
hearing which ultimately removed Miss Fleming as the
aging comedian’s guardian.
Zeppo said the 37-year-old Miss Fleming extended his
brother’s life by providing a stimulating influence.
There was no immediate comment from Arthur Marx or
Miss Fleming.

Author Jorge Luis Borges
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Hundreds of
friends dropped by to help blind Argentine author Jorge
Luis Borges celebrate his 78th birthday at his small
Buenos Aires apartment.
Borges, who has been proposed several times for the
Nobel prize, had hardly sat down Wednesday for his
breakfast of com flakes and coffee began when it was
interrupted by a friend bearing a book of Scandinavian
poetry and a bar of chocolate. Later, other friends from
the literary, intellectual and political worlds dropped by.
Sonny and Cher
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Sonny and Cher comedy
and music team has been sued for up to $350,000 by a Las
Vegas hotel for allegedly failing to fulfill a stage show
contract.
The suit, filed Wednesday in federal court by the Sahara
Hotel, claimed that Sonny and Cher had agreed in
January 1973 to play three two-week engagements that
year and another two-week engagement in 1974.
However, the suit claimed the pair shortened an
October 1973 engagement by four performances and
canceled a one-week stand for the following month.
