In 1784, Joseph Brant of the Mohawk and the Haldimand Proclamation created the Six Nations of Indians on the Grand River for Indians that fought on the side of the British. New York continues to claim that the Cayuga cannot establish a reservation in opposition to the Treaty of Canandaigua. The state rapidly arranged the sale of more than 5 million acres of land at inexpensive prices.

However, New York State once again conducted a series of illegal land transactions and treaties to rid the land of Indians. The Treaty established a Cayuga reservation within their ancestral lands. In 1794, Cayuga that remained in traditional lands brokered a treaty with the United States in Canandaigua establishing the explicitly Federal power of the United States over the State of New York and concession of much of Haudenosaunee lands.

It is for this that the Cayuga term for the President of the United States is Town Destroyer. The Sullivan-Clinton Campaign destroyed many villages, orchards and crop fields before the winter and forced the Cayuga to flee to Ohio, Canada, and Buffalo. General George Washington commissioned John Sullivan and James Clinton to commit genocide to assert their sovereignty in the face of the treaty hoping a decimated population would sell land for less later. As a long-time ally of the British, the Cayuga fought against American Revolutionaries.Īlthough the United States entered into the Treaty of Fort Stanwix to recognize the boundaries of the Haudenosaunee, settlers encouraged New York Governor Clinton to break the treaties. However, at the time of the American Revolution, the Great Law of Peace was tested as different Haudenosaunee groups and bands sides with the two different sides. Most notably includes the Two Row Wampum between the Haudenosaunee and the Dutch establishing a treaty in 1613 to share the use of the Hudson River.

Today many Cayuga live in the Six Nations Reservation in Ontario and in the Seneca-Cayuga Tribe of Oklahoma. The Cayuga lived around Lake Cayuga, primarily on its northern shores. Their ancestral homelands lie in the Finger Lakes Region of what is now called New York State. The Cayuga people known as the Gayogohó꞉non', the people of the Great Swamp and Pipe, are one of five original members of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy.
