| Bio notes | The group that resided on a reservation in southeastern New York on the banks of the Allegheny River, now part of the Seneca Nation. It was established by the Canandaigua Treaty in 1794, and guaranteed again by the Buffalo Creek Treaty (1842) between the Haudenosaunee and the US government, after having been temporarily sold four years earlier. Abutted the Cornplanter tract to the south. Along with the Cattaraugus Seneca, the Allegany established a government modeled on the United States in 1848, whereas the Tonawanda--who had never signed a treaty--retained the traditional chief system. |
