The Great Canandaigua Treaty - 1794 by Robert Griffing

The Canandaigua Treaty is between the Haudenosaunee (Six Nations Iroquois Confederacy) and the United States of America - one of the first treaties the United States entered into. This treaty, drafted in Canandaigua, New York, which created a lasting peace and friendship between the Six Nations and the United States, was signed November 11, 1794, and ratified January 21, 1795, bearing the United States seal and George Washington’s signature.

Peace and friendship forever were the basis upon which the Haudenosaunee leadership signed the Canandaigua Treaty. The treaty recognizes the sovereignty of the Haudenosaunee and the United States and establishes in writing that the aboriginal lands belonging to the Haudenosaunee are theirs. The Canandaigua Treaty remains, in the face of challenges, a valid legal document unaffected by its age.
