Treaty of Buffalo Creek

Treaty of Buffalo Creek

The Treaty of Buffalo Creek (also known as the Treaty With The New York Indians, 1838) was signed on January 15, 1838 (proclaimed on April 4, 1840) between the Seneca Nation, Mohawk nation, Cayuga nation, Oneida Indian Nation, Onondaga (tribe), Tuscarora (tribe) and the United States. Based on the terms of the accord, the four remaining reservations (Buffalo Creek Reservation, Tonawanda Reservation, Cattaraugus Reservation, and Allegany Reservation) were sold and provisions were made for the Senecas to relocate to a tract of land west of Missouri. A section of the treaty acknowledged that the four reservations then occupied by the Seneca Nation, including the Tonawanda Reservation, would be purchased by the Ogden Land Company. The treaty was modified by the [http://digital.library.okstate.edu/kappler/Vol2/treaties/sen0537.htm Treaty with the Seneca of 1841] between the United States and the Seneca Nation, which reflected the purchase by Ogden of only two of the four Seneca reservations, including the Tonawanda Reservation. The chiefs of the Tonawanda Band of Seneca Indians had apparently signed neither treaty, and the Seneca Indians residing on the Tonawanda Reservation refused to leave their land. The Senecas of Tonawanda, who had not been present at the treaty proceedings in 1842, objected. By a treaty signed in 1857 known as [http://digital.library.okstate.edu/kappler/Vol2/treaties/sen0767.htm Treaty with the Seneca, Tonawanda Band] , they bought back most of their reservation with money set aside for their removal from Kansas.

Notes

The Treaty of Buffalo Creek should not be confused with the Phelps and Gorham Purchase of lands east of the Genesee River in New York, which occurred at Buffalo Creek on July 8, 1788. cite journal |last=McKeveley |first= Blake|year=1939 |month=January |title=Historic Aspects of the Phelps and Gorham Treaty of July 4-8, 1788 |journal=Rochester History |volume=1 |issue=1 | publisher=Rochester Public Library | issn =0035-7413 |url=http://www.rochester.lib.ny.us/~rochhist/v1_1939/v1i1.pdf |accessdate=2008-01-05 ]
