"Gaiänt'wakê", "Chief (Sachem) Cornplanter", (a.k.a.: John Abeel III..; Kaiiontwa'kon:, (Gyantwachia - "the planter") or, (Kaintwakon - "By What One Plants"), is a Dutch-Seneca Chief, warrior and diplomat of the Seneca People. Chief Cornplanter was born into this world at some point in 1752 and he crossed-over one final time to the Spirit world, on February 18th 1836. As a War Chief, Chief Cornplanter fought in the 'American Revolutionary War', on the side of the British. After the war, he led negotiations with the United States and was also a signatory of the "Treaty of Fort Stanwix" (1784), the "Treaty of Canandaigua" (1794), ..as well as other treaties. He also helped to ensure Seneca neutrality, during the "Northwest Indian War". In the postwar years, Chief Cornplanter endeavoured to learn more about Euro-American culture and invited Quakers to establish schools in Seneca territory. After the 'War of 1812', he become disillusioned by his People's poor treatment from the Euro-American society. He had the schools closed and embraced his half-brother Handsome Lake's movement, to return to traditional Seneca ways and religion. The United States government granted Chief Cornplanter about 1500 acres of former Seneca territory in Pennsylvania, in 1796 for "him and his heirs, forever", which became known as the 'Cornplanter Tract'. The federal government, however, started construction of the Kinzua Dam on the Allegany River, in 1960. When the dam was completed, the Cornplanter Tract was flooded and most of the few remaining residents moved to the Allegany Reservation of the federally recognized Seneca Nation of New York. Before the flooding occurred the remains of Chief Cornplanter, his descendants and an 1866 monument to him were 'relocated'.
