Hiawatha Sues Wells Over Campus Sale | Buffalo News

A $12.5 million campus sale deal between Wells College and the Hiawatha Institute for Indigenous Knowledge is in legal limbo after Wells canceled the agreement, claiming Hiawatha failed to meet obligations. But Hiawatha counters that Wells’ own delays—including missing deadlines for critical waivers and withholding utility documents—were the real issue. With legal battles ongoing involving the Cayuga Nation and a title company refusing to insure the deal due to unresolved lawsuits, Wells declared Hiawatha in default and demanded their $500K deposit. Hiawatha is now suing to uphold the original contract, arguing the sale should’ve been extended due to Wells’ failures. No court date has been set yet.
