Charles Bowman, supporter of the Cayuga Nation Chiefs of the
Haudenosaunee Confederacy, is taken into custody Feb. 29, 2020, by
Cayuga Nation police after fighting breaks out between opposing
nation factions follwing a Haudenosaunee press conference
protesting a land dispute. The nation police turned the matter over
to local law enforcement, citing Bowman s status as a
non-citizen of the Cayuga Nation.
A Seneca County man who sued the Cayuga Nation Police Department s leader and a private security firm, alleging he was assaulted during a 2020 fight on nation property, is now facing criminal charges stemming from the same incident.
