In this acknowledgement, we hope to demonstrate respect for the treaties that were made on these territories and remorse for the harms and mistakes of the far and recent past; and we pledge to work toward partnership with a spirit of reconciliation and collaboration. Introduction This fact sheet summarizes some of the available history of Indigenous people of North America date their history on the land as “since Indigenous people in what is time immemorial”; some archeologists say that a 12,000 year-old history on now known as Western New this continent is a close estimate.1 Today, the U.S. federal government York and provides information recognizes over 567 American Indian and Alaskan Native tribes and villages on the contemporary state of with 6.7 million people who identify as American Indian or Alaskan, alone Haudenosaunee communities. or combined.2 Intended to shed light on an often overlooked history, it The land that is now known as New York State has a rich history of First includes demographic, Nations people, many of whom continue to influence and play key roles in economic, and health data on shaping the region.

  • How Western New York Gave Wings to the World

    How Western New York Gave Wings to the World

    How Western New York Gave Wings to the World --by M.E. Sterns ON AUGUST 25, 1886, there was a report in the Buffalo Courier concerning a paper read before the American Association for the Advancement of Science, whose 35th annual meeting was held in Buffalo that summer. The paper, presented by a Mr. Lancaster, was on the subject of flight and the newspaper article noted that: "Some of the members of the association seem to be in a quandary as to whether Mr. Lancaster is a crank; or a sharp practical joker who has been giving the great association of America's savants guff. On Monday, as has been duly reported, they quite unanimously joined in reviling and laughing at him." "An early Curtiss Pusher in a mowed hay field. Some of them flew, some of them didn't." So was the subject of flight treated by some of the nation's most progressive scientific minds in 1886. Fortunately, however, there were some who disagreed with the scientists of the time on the matter of flight --- men who could already see in their mind's eye the "flying contraptions" that were soon to be a reality. A group of these early air age enthusiasts lived in Buffalo during the latter part of the last century, and beginning with them, Western New York became an area where many of aviation's great firsts were performed or developed. MOST OF THESE MEN originally belonged to one of the many cycling clubs that were formed in the Buffalo area in the late 1800's, among them the Buffalo Bicycle Club (sometimes known as the High Wheel Club), the Press Cycling Club, the Ramblers, the East Side Cyclers and the Eldredge Club, of Tonawanda.

Introduction The Southern Tier Central Region is “flood alley.” The Southern Tier of New York faces the ongoing risk of serious flood damage from intense storms of local and regional extent that cause flooding and flash flooding. The economic and personal costs of these floods are significant. Many of the businesses that sustain flood damage either do not reopen or relocate outside of the region, resulting in lost jobs and reduced services.
