Cornplanter (Gaiänt'wakê)
1750 CE–1836 CE · Haudenosaunee country
Gaiant'wake, known as Cornplanter, was a Seneca war leader, chief, and diplomat of the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Confederacy. Though he fought against the American colonists during the Revolution, afterward he became a leading negotiator, signing the treaties of Fort Stanwix (1784) and Canandaigua (1794) and meeting repeatedly with U.S. officials. He sought to protect Seneca land and help his people adapt to the changed conditions after the war, and lived on a grant along the Allegheny River until his death in 1836.
