Original bill of sale and record of the action of the Council of the Onondaga Indians whereby the University of the State of New York became Wampum Keeper of the Six Nations
Series Number
A0492
Summary
This series consists of the original bill of sale and record of the action of the Council of the Onondaga Nation which sold and transferred the Onondaga Nation's interest in the wampum belts and office of wampum-keeper to the State University of New York.
This series consists of memorandums, correspondence, maps, copies of deeds, newspaper clippings, publications, reports and cassette tapes generated as a consequence of an occupation of state-owned land at Moss Lake (Herkimer County) by a dissident group of Mohawk Indians who rejected the 1797 treaty by which the state acquired title. The Mohawks established a community they called Ganienkeh on the occupied land. Subsequent negotiation, supervised by the Secretary of State, led to the withdrawal of the Indians from Moss Lake and the move of Ganienkeh to two parcels of land in Clinton County.
