Seneca Nation Receives Annual U.S. payment of cloth for 216th year

For the 216th consecutive year, the U.S. government recently fulfilled its obligation under the Treaty of Canandaigua with the Six Nations of the Haudenosaunee by sending each a piece of cloth and its share of a collective $4,500. This "payment" called for by the treaty demonstrates clearly that, in the eyes of the now mature United States, the provisions of that special sovereign treaty relationship must be met, as a matter of federal law, now and into the future.

What a deal! Violate every aspect of the treaty, including land use, land ownership, conflict resolution and every part of our economy, and all you have to do is send $4500 worth of rags to the entire Six Nations to make them happy.
