Treaty of Canandaigua

1794 · 18th century · Also known as Pickering Treaty

The Treaty of Canandaigua was signed on 11 November 1794 at Canandaigua, New York, between the United States, represented by Timothy Pickering, and the Six Nations of the Iroquois. It established peace and friendship, recognised the lands of the Seneca and other nations in New York, and promised an annual payment in goods. That payment, including bolts of cotton cloth, is still made each year, and the Haudenosaunee regard the treaty as in force.
