Proceedings of a General Council of the Six Nations
Description
Proceedings of a General Council of the Six Nations, holden at Buffalo Creek. Captain O'Bail, a Seneca chief was chosen as the speaker, and O'Bail made it known that the Six Nations are a free and independent people, and are frustrated with the disputes over the boundary, particularly at Presqu' Isle. General Israel Chapin responded, insisted that President Washington is friends of the Six Nations, and that they hope the disputes will not lead to conflict.
