Thank you
and I suggest you contact Professor Daniel Baker of the University of Vermont. He is teaching about impacts of European colonization of South and Central America and Africa and I would like to hear him talk about the impacts here and how we can help to sustain the Pre-European-Immigration Cultures and Languages. How about a Department of Native American Languages at UVM?
I hope to come to see you west of here someday again.

Why was the dam that drowned 9000 acres of Seneca land allowed to occur despite this centries old "Treaty"? What was compensation (if any)? What were the other "stresses" put on the treaty that did not break it?

I'm the designer of the commemmorative Treaty poster that appears on the site's home page. It is with pride and humilty that I'll say that the Treaty Poster has been far and away one of my most recognized pieces, and I still get requests for it.

This is a very nice site, and a good way to educate folks about the importance of the Treaty.

Good Luck!

(p.s., please be sure your site address goes on all the printed material for this year's celebration (if you haven't already) and be sure to send press releases to the media with your site's address. They'll give you free coverage!)

Having been following the situation as it has been unfolding. Though I do not have any tribal affiliation - at least I don't think I do - I am in support of the treaty being upheld. I would be ashamed to call myself a New Yorker if Pataki violates a treaty that has been honored for over 200 years. I wish all of you and your Nation the very best. Good luck in your endeavors to maintain a spirit of tradition, honor, loyalty and family.

I have been researching Iroquois - US Constitution connections, as well as family history in western New York. Was delighted to see such a lively celebration occurred to commemorate the Treaty. I am planning a trip back that way soon, and I intend to visit very place I can find that is in any way connected with my Seneca and colonial English background. If you have anything you could send me, I'd be most grateful. I certainly will be visiting Canandaigua on this trip. Could you tell me precisely where to find the hill where Seneca tradition teaches that the People emerged from beneath the ground? I understand that it is in the neighborhood. I certainly will want to visit that. Thank you.

This Treaty is more significant today than ever, with its implications for world peace! Thank you for keeping it alive and bringing it to life for others. Is there anyone who could write or who has written a play re-enacting the events leading up to and including the signing which could be presented by a performance group committed to spreading the message in the Treaty? This could be a valuable tool to apply the consciousness of those days to the needs for peace in the world today.

Thank you for everything you do to keep this important part of history alive.
As much as I had liked to, I wasn't able to attend the Treaty Commemoration. How I would have loved to hear some of the most wonderful words ever spoken - the Thanksgiving Address!
But I was there in mind and spirit, reaching out to strengthen the chain of friendship.

In the late '70s, my wife Muriel, Barbara Mahootie, Ann Galban, and other ladies decided to revive the Commemoration, which up to that point had been kept alive primarily by Dr. Sheldon Fisher and a troop of Boy Scouts. We fed the participants at our home at 356 North Main, a few blocks north of the Canandagua courthouse. A year later, participants ate a post-ceremony dinner at the National Guard Armory (where, among other things, guests enjoyed Western-style corn soup!) We've learned that some of our Six Nations friends have since passed on, but memories of those rich times still remain.

Thank you for the fine work you are doing on this website and in many other places and ways. Your faithfulness to your/our history and to your/our traditions will help us all to understand better what America is all about. You will help us to know how we came to be where we are now as a nation, and how we can be ever more true, ever more honest about the breadth and depth of our common heritage as children of God in this very beautiful land. Again, thank you.

I have none that I can claim, but always wished I did

Yes. My daughters and I, and possibly my husband and young son, are planning to attend the Treaty Day Celebration this year (my two daughters and I will be there for sure). We have never been - we were just invited this weekend by Grandmother White Wolf who we know from Native American Camp that is held each year at Camp Aldersgate. I have always been interested in Native American art and history (although I admit I have gotten away from it considerably the past few years raising a family, working, & going to college - but was never completely detached from the interest). The really neat thing is that my children have a lot of the same interests that I do, especially my oldest daughter Jacinta, so I get to relive it and get my interests rekindled. We are really looking forward to attending the Treaty Day Celebration!

A friend who is Native American (Craig Binnert) is working on the Nov. 11th ceremony. My son and I are trying to learn as much as we can about our Native American friends.

My son and I plan on attending the ceremony. I have never attended and it will be an excellent learning experience for both of us. My son Joshua is 6 and we are both eager to learn as much as we can about the Native American people. This web site is excellent. It is a good learning tool with an abundance of information. It is also very user friendly.Thank You.

I COME FROM A BACKGROUND OF FIVE EUROPEAN ANSCESTORS AND FIVE NATIVE AMERICAN INDIAN ANSCESTORS. OUR FAMILY BELIEVES
ONE OF OUR ANSCESTORS WAS CHIEF CORNPLANTER, HOWEVER, THAT WOULD BE HARD TO PROVE TODAY. MY HEART IS FOR THE ORIGINAL PEOPLES OF THIS LAND. I BELIEVE THE ORIGINAL PEOPLES OF THIS LAND ARE STILL THE MOST MISTREATED PEOPLE ON THE FACE OF THIS PLANET. I BELIEVE EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING WAS CREATED BY ONE CREATOR. I DO NOT BELIEVE IN MISTREATING ANYONE OR ANYTHING. I DO NOT CONSIDER ANYONE MY ENEMY, INSTEAD, I ONLY SEE ALL PEOPLES AND CREATURES AS BEINGS OF OUR CREATOR WHO NEED TO BE UNDERSTOOD. UNLESS, OF COURSE, THEY ARE TERROISTS
AS SEEN ON SEPTEMBER THE 11TH OR DOWN RIGHT MURDERS,RAPISTS OR MOLESTORS OF CHILDREN AND MOLESTORS OF OTHER PEOPLE. I DO BELIEVE OUR NATIVE AMERICAN ANSCESTORS WERE FOR THE MOST PART PEOPLE WHO HAD VERY HIGH MORAL STANDARDS. I CANNOT SAY THE SAME FOR THE ONES WHO CAME TO THIS LAND FROM OTHER COUNTRIES WHO RAPED AND KILLED THE PEOPLES AND THE ENVIRONMENT OF THIS TURTLE ISLAND WE CALL HOME.
