OFFICIAL
REPORT [1892]
"Legal
Status of the Six Nations of New York": Excerpt from
The 1892 United
States Extra Census Bulletin
"The
conclusion is irresistible that the Six Nations are nations by
treaty and law, and have long since been recognized as such by the
United States and the state of New York, and an enlightened public
will surely hesitate before proceeding to divest these people of
long-established rights without their consent -- rights recognized
and confirmed in some cases by the immortal Washington and by more
than a hundred years of precedents and legislation." |

The
Allegany Senecas
and
Kinzua Dam
Forced
Relocation Through Two Generations |
|
The building of
the Kinzua Dam was highly controversial because it flooded one-third
of the Allegheny Reservation of the
Seneca Nation of Indians. Nearly six hundred Senecas were forced to
abandon their homes and relocate, despite a 1794 treaty that had
guaranteed them those lands in perpetuity. |
