Treaty Belt in Bullis Room
Currently on display in the Bullis Room at the Macedon Public Library is
a reproduction of the Canandaigua Treaty Wampum Belt of 1794. The original belt was commissioned to symbolize the Canandaigua Treaty between the United States of America
and the Six Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy - Seneca, Cayuga,
Onondaga, Oneida, Mohawk and Tuscarora, signed on November 11, 1794.
This treaty is still commemorated today. Treaty Day is on November 11th and officials from both governments will be on hand in Canandaigua for the commemoration. For more information visit http://www.ganondagan.org/TreatyCelebration.html
The belt will be on display at the library until November 15.
