N.Y. Indian Law § 52: Enforcement of judgments

§ 52. Enforcement of judgments. If any party shall fail to comply

with, or fulfil the directions or finding of the peacemakers in any

matter heard or determined by them in pursuance of law, within the time

fixed by such determination, the party in whose favor such determination

may be, shall be entitled to recover the amount awarded to him, by such

determination with costs, in an action in justice's court before any

justice of the peace of the county in which such reservation or a part

thereof is situated, in which action, a copy of the record of such

determination, certified to by said clerk, shall be conclusive evidence

of the right of recovery, and of the amount of such recovery, and

executions shall be awarded to enforce the collection of the judgment

obtained thereon in the same manner and with the like effect as against

white persons, and the property and person of the defendant in such

action shall be liable to seizure and sale or imprisonment, as in like

cases against white persons. In case the action or proceeding is one

not within the jurisdiction of justice's courts, the application may be

made to a court having jurisdiction of actions of the same nature.
