- Abstract
State authorities, meanwhile, negotiated many times that number, all in an effort to acquire Haudenosaunee land. Half a decade later so did the state's Whipple Commission, which collected testimony and issued a massive report that called for the break-up of New York's Indian reservations as one of a number of solutions to the state's "Indian Problem."[9] But Chancellor Sims's efforts to persuade the Onondagas to sign a treaty with the state individualizing their landholdings ended in failure. Since the American Revolution, New York State has claimed and exercised jurisdiction over the Iroquois, sometimes with and sometimes without the sanction of federal authorities.
