“To have our economic resources frozen like that it was frightening,” Logan said at a Seneca Nation rally Friday at Niagara Square. “We were not able to function, to buy medicines and the simplicities of life.

Madison Brown called it “an aggression”…

Brown and Logan joined upward of 75 others who participated in the Seneca Rally for Economic Justice, organized over the $564.8 million in casino revenue the state pressured the Seneca Nation to turn over last month.
