An annual ceremony was held last week at the Burchfield Nature and Art Center in West Seneca to mark the 176th anniversary of the signing of the Buffalo Creek Treaty. The pact, signed in 1842, restored and recognized the Cattaraugus and Allegany territories as sovereign Seneca lands.
CARLISLE (WSKG) — A team of Army officials and anthropologists is working in Cumberland County to exhume the remains of three Native American boys from the Northern Arapaho Native American Tribe. The boys died in the 1880s, at the Carlisle Indian Industrial School–part of a program that separated native children from their families to forcibly assimilate them into American culture. But they’ll soon be laid to rest back at home–for good. The school in Carlisle has long been closed. Its former campus is now home to the US Army War College, but its cemetery–the final resting place of Native American children who died there–remains. This week, it’s closed to the public and surrounded by tall, black fencing.
