Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memorial of the Seneca Indians, to the President of the United States It is respectfully represented that an application for assistance was, about the year 1838, made to the society of Friends, by the Seneca Nation of Indians. In this application they represented themselves as being in great difficulty and distress, on account of a treaty alledged to have been fraudulently made, and by which as they stated, all their remaining lands in the State of New York, were ceded to a company of land speculators. With the consent of the then President of the United States, a delegation from the society of Friends visited those Indians, and enquired into their complaints, and having gained such information as they could obtain, they were fully convinced that the treaty referred to, had been effected by very objectionable means, without the agency or consent of a great majority of the Nation. Committees of Friends representing the Yearly Meetings of Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York and Genessee, were accordingly appointed to extend such assistance to these Indians in the premises as they might be enabled to render; the result was, that a compromise arrangement was agreed upon between the parties, by which about fifty-three thousand acres of their lands were relinquished back to the Senecas.
