How to Buy a Continent: The Protocols of Indian Treaties as Developed by Benjamin Franklin and Other Members of the American Philosophical Society Abstract In 1743, when Benjamin Franklin announced the formation of an American Philosophical Society for the Promotion of Useful Knowledge, it was important for the citizens of Pennsylvania to know more about their American Indian neighbors. Beyond a slice of land around Philadelphia, three quarters of the province were still occupied by the Delaware and several other Indian tribes, loosely gathered under the wing of an Indian confederacy known as the Six Nations. Relations with the Six Nations and their allies were being peacefully conducted in a series of so-called “Indian Treaties” that dealt with the fur trade, threats of war with France, settlement of grievances, and the purchase of land.

Gomez (Bolles School, Jacksonville FL) and Matt Livingood (Street School, Tulsa OK) Original Plan Submitted August, 2013 *This lesson plan will be submitted for inclusion into an on-line database of curricular projects for the NEH program Native Americans in New England. Curricular Project Summary: When students are asked to summarize interactions between Indian peoples and Euro-Americans on the North American continent, they often describe the relations as tenuous, violent, and one- sided, pointing to the “inevitability” of westward expansion and dispossession of Indian lands. Indians were often manipulated by treaties crafted by shrewd, greedy whites. While this interpretation has some merit, the simple explanation of warfare, deception, and removal does not tell the complete story and undermines the complexities of the relationship between Indian peoples and Euro-Americans from the time of contact to the present day. Historian Colin Calloway argues in “treaty after treaty Europeans and Americans produced documents…to justify, codify, and perpetuate their acquisition and occupation of America.” Indian leaders often understood written treaties had the authority to take away Indian lands, often referring to the process as “pen and ink

    OUR COUNTY AND ITS PEOPLE. A HISTORY OF Tioga County, New York. CHAPTER I. European Discoveries and Explorations The French in CanadaThe Puritans in New England The Dutch in New York Champlain Invades the Territory of the Mohawks The First Battle Dutch Troubles with the Indians Grant of the Pro vince of New York Conquest and Overthrow of the Dutch in the New Nether lands. FOUR hundred years ago the first Spanish adventurers landed on the shores of the American continent. Sailing under the patronage of Spain, Christopher Columhus, the daring Genoese, in 1492, made his wonderful discoveries. This event has generally been designated as the discovery of America, but it is evident that the first Europeans to visit the western hemisphere were Scandinavians, who colonized Iceland in A. D. 875, Green land in 983, and about the year 1000 had cruised southward as far as the Massachusetts coast. 2 () UR (;<_) UNTY A ND ITS PEOPLE. During all the ages that preceded these events, no grander coun try in every point of view ever awaited the approach of civiliza tion. With climate and soil diversified between the most remote extremes ; with thousands of miles of ocean shore, indented by magnificent harbors to welcome the world's commerce ; with many of the largest rivers of the globe draining its territory and forming natural highways for commerce ; with a system of lakes so im mense in area as to entitle them to the name of inland seas ; with mountains, hills and valleys laden with the richest minerals and almost exhaustless fuel ; and with scenery unsurpassed for grand eur, it needed only the Caucasian to transform a wilderness inhab ited only by savages, into the free, enlightened republic which is to-day the wonder and glory of the civilized world.

  • The Treaty and the Land Surveyor
    The Treaty and the Land Surveyor Seminar Notes Donald A. Wilson, LLS, PLS, RPF Land & Boundary Consultants, Inc. 84 Main Street Newfields, NH 03856 ©2020 All Rights Reserved 1 The Treaty and the Land Surveyor Definitions A boundary is the invisible line of division between two contiguous parcels of land, or estates in land. Boundaries may originate, be fixed or be varied by statutory authority, by proved acts of the respective owners (as by plans and deeds, possession, estoppel, or by agreement), or by the courts exercising statutory or inherent jurisdiction. —Boundaries and Surveys, § 1 Significance to the Land Surveyor Surveys: Original: A survey called for or presumed to have been made at the time a parcel or parcels were created. An original survey creates boundaries; it does not ascertain them. First: When a parcel or parcels are created on paper, with a survey being conducted, and a surveyor is later requested to mark one of the paper-described parcels on the ground, this survey should be considered as the “first” survey, in that it is the first survey to be placed on the ground after its description. Resurvey: a reconstruction of land boundaries and subdivisions accomplished by re-running and re-marking the lines represented in the field note record or on the plat of a previous official survey. Retracement: a survey made to ascertain the direction and length of lines and to identify monuments and other marks of an established prior survey. Accurate survey (map): a map reflecting the course and distance measurements, boundaries, and contents of a territory.

  • On the Hill: a Bicentennial History of Hamilton College by Maurice Isserman, the James L
    On the Hill: A Bicentennial History of Hamilton College By Maurice Isserman, the James L. Ferguson Professor of History Chapter 1 To a traveller passing through the Oriskany Valley in the year 1785, the country presented all the indications of an unbroken wilderness. His path was an Indian trail. If he ascended the hill on the west, he looked down upon a sea of forests undulating over the knolls and slopes which diversify the valley, and up the amphithe- atre of hills which rise on the east and south. Here and there he saw little wreaths of smoke curling up from Indian wigwams, and perhaps through openings in the trees he caught an occasional glimmer of the Oris- kany. Beyond all were the Trenton hills, as blue and serene as now. — AMOS D. GRIDLEY, Class of 1839, History of the Town of Kirkland, New York (1874) In July 1793, the Reverend Samuel Kirkland, a resident of a newly established community in Central New York, attended the ordination of a local Protestant minister. It had been six years since the founding of what was then called Clinton settlement and four years since Kirkland moved into a small log cabin at the base of the hill overlooking Oriskany Creek. For nearly a quarter-century prior to moving to Clinton, he had served as a missionary to the Oneida Indian tribe, whose principal settlement was 15 miles to the west. He found it heartening, he wrote in his journal, that: “this place, which six years ago was in a state of nature, a mere wilderness should so suddenly ap- pear like the garden of Eden, the fields around us whitening for harvest or clad with verdure.

Beauchamp, S.T.D., LL.D. At the request of this Association, now sixty years old, I select for my last publication some things from my large collection of Iroquois folk lore which may interest some, and which comes from many sources. As a charter member of the American Folk Lore Society in 1888, I had two papers in its first volume, and con- tinued this for many years, Indian themes being in de- mand. My first important pubic work of this kind was of a material nature, gradually approaching my present theme. Mr. Arthur C. Parker, my successor, went farther in this, and I have freely quoted from his admirable publications. The Bureau of Ethnology takes in a larger field, mainly in the West, and with a large staff, but in its second volume (1883) pubhshed Mrs. Erminnie A. Smith's "Myths of the Iroquois." She was a native of Marcellus, N. Y. Later the Bureau has published bi-lingual Onondaga, Mohawk and Seneca myths (vol. 21) by J. N. B. Hewitt, who aided Mrs. Smith. The Dutch told of Indian customs and superstitions, most- ly Algonquin. The Jesuits had written so much of a kindred people in Canada, that here they said little.
