| Bio notes | Since recorded history and possibly earlier, the western branch of this Seneca people mostly lived along the Genesee River, which they used to travel into Pennsylvania and Ohio. From this position they made several incursions on rival tribes in the 17th and 18th centuries, as well as American Revolutionaries in the latter. In 1788 they sold land rights east of the Genesee to New York state. In 1797 signed the Treaty of Big Tree, which sold lands west of the Genesee River except for ten reservations, including Allegheny and Cattaraugus. |
