Professor Emeritus Max Mintz of Southern Connecticut State University is spotlighted in a 1999 Onondagas Today issue. The piece highlights his academic career and community involvement as part of the regional profile.
The Onondaga Nation explores land losses from 1788 to 1822 in a New York state claim, tying historical treaties and fraud allegations to long-standing grievances. The series highlights how tribes like the Onondaga, Oneida, Cayuga, Mohawk, and Seneca ceded vast lands, while state actions and federal law shaped the outcome.
Timeline covers Samuel Kirkland with the Oneidas in 1766, treaties shaping Iroquois neutrality, Brant’s voyage to England, 1776 events including Grand Council neutrality, Washington recruiting Indians, and key battles such as Oriskany and Saratoga. Includes depictions of epidemics and shifts in allegiance amid the American Revolution.
A compact review recounts how New York state repeatedly seized and repurposed Onondaga land from 1788 to the creation of present day Syracuse. It notes military actions against Onondaga villages, political pressure to move to Canada, vast land sales and leases, and Ephraim Webster’s controversial role in treaties with lasting distrust among Onondaga people.
