Canandaigua Treaty Day
On Thursday, November 11, 2021 there is an annual Canandaigua Treaty Day event in Canandaigua, NY.
This year's 227th anniversary of the historic, federal Canandaigua Treaty of 1794 will be privately celebrated and virtually shared, in accordance with pandemic guidelines and to ensure our communities safety.
The annual commemoration serves to “polish the chain of peace and friendship” between the Hodinöhsö:ni’ (Six Nations Confederacy) and the young United States. The treaty was signed by Colonel Timothy Pickering—official agent of President George Washington—and sachems from the Six Nations Grand Council. It signified peace between the two and recognized the sovereignty of the other as distinct nations to govern and set their own laws.
Please join them on Facebook live to participate in the event.
