2006 New York Code - Leases.



 
    §  24.  Leases.   An Indian residing on the Onondaga reservation and a
  member of the Onondaga tribe, owning  or  possessed  of  improved  lands
  therein, may lease such lands to white persons, for a term not to exceed
  ten  years;  but  no individual Indian shall have the right to lease any
  lands to be used as a stone  quarry  or  for  commercial  purposes.    A
  majority  of  the  chiefs of such tribe may, by a written contract drawn
  under the direction of the agent of  such  tribe  and  approved  by  his
  indorsement  thereon, lease lands to be used as stone quarries, lands to
  be used for commercial purposes and national lands of the tribe to white
  persons, the expense of such contracts to be paid by the persons to whom
  the lands shall be leased.  Any such contract without the consent of the
  agent shall be void.
    All moneys due upon leases of lands to be used as stone quarries or of
  lands to be used for commercial purposes, shall be paid to the agent  to
  be  distributed  by him as follows:  One-third to the Onondaga Nation of
  Indians and two-thirds to the individual owner of such lands,  and  each
  such  lease,  hereafter  made,  shall  contain  such requirement for the
  payment and disbursement of lease moneys.
    As used in this section "commercial purposes" shall mean  and  include
  any  purpose,  except  agricultural  purposes, for which the land may be
  used to derive a profit.
