====Iroquois Confederacy====
{{main|Seneca-Cayuga Tribe of Oklahoma}}
The [[Iroquois Confederacy]] was an alliance of tribes, originally from the [[Upstate New York]] area consisting of the [[Seneca tribe|Seneca]], [[Cayuga tribe|Cayuga]], [[Onondaga people|Onondaga]], [[Oneida tribe|Oneida]], [[Mohawk nation|Mohawk]], and, later, [[Tuscarora people|Tuscarora]]. In the pre-[[American Revolutionary War|Revolutionary War]] era, their confederacy expanded to areas from [[Kentucky]] and [[Virginia]] north. All of the members of the Confederacy, except the Oneida and Tuscarora, allied with the [[Kingdom of Great Britain|British]] during the Revolutionary War, and were forced to cede their land after the war. Most moved to [[Canada]] after the [[Treaty of Canandaigua]] in 1794, though some remained in [[New York (state)|New York state]] and some moved to [[Ohio]], where they joined the Shawnee.

The 1838 and 1842 [[Treaties of Buffalo Creek]] were treaties with New York Indians, such as the Seneca, Mohawk, Cayuga, and [[Oneida Indian Nation]], which covered land sales of tribal reservations under the U.S. Indian removal program, under which they planned to move most eastern tribes to Indian Territory. Initially, the tribes were moved to the present state of [[History of Kansas#1820s–1840s: Indian territory|Kansas]], and later to [[Oklahoma]] on land administered by the Quapaw Indian Agency.
