The Onondagas could use a way to contribute to their sustenance as a people. What happened to the salt spring that was once theirs? Is it possible the land is not improved? If not, might they be able to harvest a quantity of salt for sale? Is this a consideration for the nation? Land is needed by those who live simply and sustainably. Revenues are needed to provide for the people. Just thinking of them...
