Native American Land Rights: Impacts on Planning
/The Susan Christopherson Center is sponsoring a series of talks with authors on planning related topics. Upstate NY author Cindy Amrhein has written a great book laying out a history of treaties, land deals and land claims, as well as the unique sovereign rights of the Haudenosaunee have that few planners actually know about.
The Haudenosaunee now have territories in 10 counties in New York and with land claim settlements have the potential for acquiring thousands of acres of new territory he coming decades. This will be an opportunity for planners at the county and local levels to become better informed. It is free and open to the public.

The St. Lawrence County Planning Office is seeking an entry level Planner to join a group of other professionals working in the largest County, by area, in the State. The successful candidate will have strong communication and writing skills and be familiar with GIS. Work will be varied but responsibilities include collecting and analyzing data, preparing graphic materials, assisting with community planning projects and programs, and staffing various advisory boards such as the County Planning Board, Environmental Management Council, Agricultural and Farmland Protection Board and Fair Housing Taskforce. The work is closely reviewed and is performed under direct supervision of a higher level Planner or the Director of Planning, but incumbents are allowed to work under more general supervision as they increase in professional competence.
