Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Case of the Seneca Indians in the State of New York: Illustrated by Facts It appears that soon after the close of the revolutionary war, a controversy arose between the states of Massachusetts and New York, in relation to a portion of the territory lying in the latter state, which, under an old patent, was claimed by Massachusetts. This controversy was finally settled in the following manner. Massachusetts ceded to New York, all her right and title to the sovereignty, government, and jurisdiction of the lands in dispute, and New York ceded to Massachusetts, and to her grantees, their heirs and assigns, the pre-emptive right to the soil of the native Indians, lying within the limits described in the compromise. Among the Indians who then occupied this land, were the Senecas and Tuscaroras. This "pre-emptive right," seems to be simply, an exclusive privilege to purchase of the original owners, the Indians, their lands, when they are disposed to sell them. Until so disposed, no right is vested in the assigns of Massachusetts to the Indian lands, nor have they any power over them, more than that which every citizen of the United States has over the land owned by his neighbor. By a treaty with the six nations, of which the Senecas were one, made in the year 1794, the United States acknowledged to each of these tribes or nations, their right and title, respectively, to certain reservations of land specified in the treaty; and solemnly guarantied to them, separately, the possession and enjoyment of their respective reservations. Of these reservations, the Seneca Nation now owns and occupies four; to wit, the "Tonewanda Reservation," situate near and east of the Niagara River, containing about 13,000 acres; the "Buffalo Reservation," situate on Buffalo Creek, and within a short distance of the City of Buffalo, containing about 53,000 acres; the "Cattaraugus Reservation," lying on Cattaraugus Creek, which empties itself into Lake Erie, near its eastern extremity, containing about 22,000 acres; and the "Alleghany Reservation," lying on the Alleghany River, containing about 31,000 acres, all in the state of New York.
