another, and a much larger band, settled at Sandusky, in Ohio, from whence they were removed by government, a few years since, into the Indian territory, west of the Mississippi. About 120 still reside among the Senecas, in western New York. ... The Tuscaroras, after removing from the Oneida territory, finally located near the Niagara river, in the vicinity of Lewiston, on a tract given to them by the Senecas. ... The residue of the Senecas are now shut up within three small reservations, the Tonawanda, the Cattaraugus and the Allegany, which, united, would not cover the area of one of the lesser counties of the State." _L. H. Morgan, The League of the Iroquois, book 1, chapter 1._ "The Indians of the State of New York number about 5,000, and occupy lands to the estimated extent of 87,()77 acres. With few exceptions, these people are the direct descendants of the native Indians, who once possessed and controlled the soil of the entire State." _Report of Special Committee to Investigate the Indian Problem of the State of New York 1889._ _H. R. Schoolcraft, Notes on the Iroquois._ _F. Parkman, The Conspiracy of Pontiac, chapter 1._ _C. Colden, History of the Five Indian Nations._ _J. Fiske, Discovery of America, chapter 1._ In 1715 the Five Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy became Six Nations, by the admission of the Tuscaroras, from N. Carolina.
