The Cornplanter Tract on the west bank of the Allegheny River about three miles from the New York border. It no longer exists since the Kinzua Dam was built and created the Allegheny Reservoir.

Chief Cornplanter was born sometime around the mid 1700's in New York. He was half white and half seneca. He became known for his abilities as a great war chief and was granted many acres for his service in fighting the British. In one famous battle against the British, knowing there were just too many to defeat, Cornplanter created diversions allowing many of his people to escape unharmed. History remembers him as primarily a peacemaker between his people and the Europeans. He learned that compromise was the only way to save the remants of his people from a complete genocide, as was the fate of the majority of the New York Natives.

Both Tecumseh and Corn Planter were Native Americans who called upon their people to reject the influence of the Europeans and return to traditional Indian ways. Both believed their people had been worst off by having lost their own values.

Not all tribes supported the English as some tribes in the St. Lawrence valley andLake Huron region supported the French. The fur trade was instrumental in choosing which side you supported. In the War of Independence and the 1812 conflict the Six Nations Iroquois, as much as they could, tried to stay out of conflicts. But when their lands and the safety of their nation were threatened, usually by U.S. Americans, they joined the English. When Americans tricked, threatened and thieved their ancestral homes in the Mohawk Valley, the British offered land in Ontario, then called Upper Canada. Joseph Brant settled on the Grand River with Six Nations in 1794. Chief Cornplanter and mostly Senecas remained in Upstate New York.
