Petition. To the Hon. the Senate of the United States. [From the Chiefs of the Six Nations, and Other Indian Tribes, Asking Congress to Confirm Them in the Possession of Certain Lands Guaranteed to Them by Treaty

This petition represents the Indigenous peoples' appeals to the US Senate to confirm their possession of certain lands that are guaranteed to them by treaty, as they face dispossession by white settlers. The significance of this document lies in its expression of Indigenous people's political assertiveness during a moment of aggressive expansionism by Euro-American settlers and their intrinsic demand for the protection of their land rights and sovereignty.
