W. Venables states that “from 1794 to the present day, the treaty has been the legal keystones of relations between the United States and the Six Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy. The treaty is at the center of any of the Six Nation’s land claims and their rights to govern their own reservations”. The sovereignty and autonomy established in the treaty was also reaffirmed in the State Papers of the London Review of 1796, stating that anyone is able to “freely to pass and repass” through the territory addressed in the treaty, while recognizing the friendship established by the treaty itself. Signatories The treaty was signed by fifty Sachems and War Chiefs. Notable signatories include: Ki-ant-whau-ka (Corn Planter) Kon-ne-at-or-tee-ooh (Handsome Lake) Se-quid-ong-guee (Little Beard) Sog-goo-ya-waut-hau (Red Jacket) Honayawus (Farmer's Brother) (see: Battle of Devil's Hole) Timothy Pickering See also Treaty of Big Tree Treaties of Buffalo Creek List of treaties References Sources Laurence M.
