Buffalo Creek Treaty Commemoration

Issue

The 2023 Buffalo Creek Treaty Commemoration event will take place Friday, May 17th at the Burchfield Nature and Arts Center.

Signed between the Seneca Nation and the United States in the location what is now known as West Seneca, the Buffalo Creek Treaty of 1842 restored Seneca possession of the Nation’s Cattaraugus and Allegany territories after an earlier manipulated treaty attempted to stake claim to all Seneca lands and relocate the Seneca people to present day Kansas. The Buffalo Creek Treaty of 1842 further affirmed that the Seneca Nation will never be subject to taxation on Native-owned lands.

This event is open to the public, and lunch will be served following the ceremony.

For more information, call Fallon Snyder at 716-945-1790, ext. 3543.
