In 1810, the Ogden Land Company acquired the rights to four Seneca reservations in New York State, igniting a land struggle that would endure for decades. The Senecas living in Buffalo during the early nineteenth century faced unprecedented challenges that tested their resilience, continuing long after the Buffalo Creek Treaty of 1842. This story lays the foundation for the Senecas’ enduring legacy in shaping modern-day Western New York. Join us for an enlightening lecture on this important aspect of our area’s history.
