A Buffalo, New York park honoring Seneca heritage.
Description:
Seneca Indian Park is a tiny, out-of-the-way patch of lawn in a quiet residential neighborhood near the city line, but the historical importance of the site is huge. During the early 19th Century, the land was part of the cemetery next to the Seneca Indian Mission Church, which was located a few steps away on what’s now called Indian Church Road. Originally buried here were such Seneca luminaries as Chief Red Jacket and Mary Jemison, the White Woman of the Genesee, their remains were moved to Forest Lawn Cemetery and the grounds of the Glen Iris Estate at Letchworth State Park, respectively. It’s said that the Buffalo Creek Reservation’s longhouse was located on the site too, while that’s not certain, it was definitely somewhere nearby. Commemorating the site’s historical importance are a trio of large boulders, on which are placed historical plaques explaining local Seneca history.
