Ms. Cabral's U.S. Treaties with Natives late 1700s Early 1800s Timeline
-
Treaty of Canandaigua, 1794
Signed in New York by between the Grand Council of the Six Nations and President George Washington representing the United States of America. It was also signed after the American Revolutionary War so it established peace between the people that signed it. It affirmed the last rights to Haudenosaunee Confederacy and established boundaries. However it caused a relocation of 600 Seneca natives during construction of Kinzua Dam and the natives were still receiving payment from the United States. -
Treaty of Greenville 1795
Occurred after the Battle of Fallen Timbers in Ohio. The key players in the treaty were a coalition of Native American tribes, known as the Western Confederacy, and U.S. government represented by General Anthony Wayne. This treaty ended the Northwest Indian and limited Americans from going further into native land and established a system where natives were given money and supplies. This outcome was U.S. government and outsider’s influence and control in tribal and Native American life. -
Treaty of Fort Wayne,1809
Signed in Illinois and Indiana. The people involved were the Territorial Governor William Henry Harrison and the tribes Delaware, Eel River, Miami tribe, and Potawatomi in the initial negotiations. This treaty again, opened more land for settlement to which the Miami people opposed. The leader, of the Shawnee, Tecumseh, informed Harrison that unless the treaty was nullified, he would seek an alliance with the British which led to the Tecumseh war. -
Treaty of St. Mary’s 1818
Signed in Ohio between the United States and primarily the Miami tribe. Main idea was to have the Miami people leave their territories near the Wabash River so that the United States can make gristmill and sawmills in the land. The U.S. would pay the Miami $15000 annually for allowing them to take the land, which was also called The New Purchase. The U.S. did this treaty with the Miami because they helped the U.S. against Tecumseh as well as thanking them for their alligence to the U.S.
