- Land claim dispute
There’s a contentious debate over the ownership of Shinnecock Hills, with the Shinnecock Indian Nation asserting their claim to the land, which they allege was unlawfully seized in a white land grab in 1859.
In 2005, the nation took legal action against the state, seeking the return of approximately 3,500 acres (1,400 ha) in Southampton, encompassing the tribe’s reservation, and demanding billions of dollars in reparations. Notably, the disputed territory includes the Shinnecock Hills Golf Club, which Native American representatives contend sits atop tribal burial grounds.
At the heart of the legal battle is a 1703 agreement between Southampton and the tribe for a 1,000-year lease. The lawsuit alleges that a consortium of influential investors colluded to invalidate the lease in 1859 by submitting a fraudulent petition to the state legislature purportedly signed by Shinnecock tribesmen. Despite immediate protests from other tribal members regarding the petition’s authenticity, the Legislature sanctioned the sale of 3,500 acres (1,400 ha) of former tribal land. The town of Southampton reportedly incurred legal fees exceeding $732,000 in connection with this lawsuit
