§ 12-a. Indian cemetery or burial grounds. The office of parks and
recreation shall have the power to designate any Indian cemetery or
burial ground as a place of historic interest pursuant to subdivision
one of section 3.09 of the parks and recreation law provided, however,
that such cemetery or burial ground is not located upon any Indian
reservation located wholly or partly within the state. No person shall
destroy, alter, convert, or in any way impair any such cemetery or
burial ground which has been so designated as a place of historic
interest or any artifact or other object thereon which is or may be of
relevance to the historic interest thereof without the prior express
written permission of the office of parks and recreation.

The attorney general, at the request of the office of parks and
recreation, is hereby authorized to institute an action in supreme court
in the judicial district wherein such cemetery or burial ground is
located to enjoin violations or threatened violations of this section.
