Chief Cornplanter Exhibit

The exhibit will draw on the legacy of Cornplanter by exploring Cornplanter’s significance in Onöndowaˊga:ˊ (Seneca) and American history through documents, photographs, and artifacts including Cornplanter’s pipe tomahawk which the New York State Museum returned to the Seneca Nation in 2020. The centerpiece of the exhibition is the permanent installation of the original Cornplanter monument. The monument, erected at Cornplanter’s Grant located in Pennsylvania’s Warren County in 1866, is believed to be the first memorial to stand in tribute to a Native American in the United States. An interactive display of Cornplanter’s children and grandchildren will offer descendants the opportunity to contribute valuable genealogical information about succeeding generations.
