ALTONA, N.Y. -- A low-flying Vermont Army National Guard helicopter on an emergency medical mission was forced down by gunfire from a Mohawk Indian encampment Friday, police said.
*Ganienkeh (meaning Land of the Flint Mohawk), is a Mohawk community located on about 600 acres (2.4 km 2) near Altona, New York in the far northeast corner of the North Country. Established by an occupation of Mohawk warriors in the late 1970s, it is a rare case in which an indigenous people reclaiming land from the United States succeeded.

A doctor was wounded in the arm and shoulder by gunshots that hit the UH-1 ’Huey’ helicopter as it flew over the 5,500-acre Ganienkeh Mohawk Indian territory about 11:20 a.m. The chopper from the Delta 150th Aviation Batallion made a ’controlled landing’ in a field, said State Police Sgt. Victor Rycroft.Advertisement
’It sustained some damage as a result of gunfire but the pilot was able to land it,’ he said.
Lt. Ron Clark, a State Police spokesman in Albany, said ’the bird was over the (Ganienkeh Mohawk encampment) when the pilot heard shots.’
A corrections officer from the medium-security Altona Correctional Facility told police he heard the shots, and the pilot reported seeing a man with a shoulder weapon fire on the chopper.
Five people -- three military personnel, the doctor and a nurse -- were aboard the helicopter heading to Massena Memorial Hospital in a snowstorm to pick up a seriously ill 62-year-old woman, officials said.
The woman was eventually transferred by ambulance over snow-covered roads to the Medical Center Hospital of Vermont in Burlington. Spokeswoman Beverly Rutherford said the unidentified woman was suffering from a cardiac condition and was in critical condition.Altona Bingo
The wounded man, identified as Dr. James van Kirk, 27, was shot once in the upper arm but the trajectory broke his collarbone before exiting his neck. He was in good condition at the Medical Center Hospital of Vermont, Rutherford said.
Elma Rickards, a nurse in the chopper, said she heard several ’thumps’ and noticed van Kirk was hit. She said van Kirk, a second-year resident, exclaimed, ’My gosh, I can’t feel my arm.’
The helicopter landed in an open field about a mile from Indian territory along state Route 190, about 7 miles northwest of the Plattsburgh Air Force Base, Rycroft said.
Mohawks in upstate New York have been feuding with the state and federal government since July, when state police and the FBI raided the St. Regis Reservation casinos.
A spokesman for the Mohawks at the Ganienkeh encampment, some 130 miles north of Albany, denied Indian activists shot at the helicopter.
’There has been no conflict,’ said spokesman Darryl Martin.
The encampment was created in 1973, when Mohawk activists took over what they considered their ancestral land consisting of 5,500 acres of forest.
Martin said Mohawks were cooperating with law-enforcement officials for now.Ganienkeh Bingo Hall Altona Ny
’We allow no outside law enforcement agency to come around,’ Martin said. ’(The state police) didn’t force their way in here. We allowed them.’
State police set up roadblocks Friday night so that no one would leave the Ganienkeh encampment.
Martin denied any link between the shooting and the trial of former resident Kakwirakeron, formerly known as Art Montour, who is charged in U.S. District Court in Syracuse with conspiracy for using armed warriors to stop state police and FBI raids on casinos on the St. Regis Indian Reservation some 60 miles west.Ganienkeh Bingo Project
