Summary
| Description |
English: As seen in September 2021, a historic plaque marks the crest of the low hill at the northeast corner of Seneca Street and Ridge Road in West Seneca, New York as the former site of the Onondaga village of Chief Big Sky, which "consisted of twenty-eight cabins in good repair in 1791". Though Erie County was not initially Onondaga territory, the region served as a refuge for many survivors of the bloody Sullivan-Clinton Expedition of 1779, an American Revolutionary War campaign during which its namesakes, Major General John Sullivan and Brigadier General James Clinton of the Continental Army, marauded through the Iroquois territory of Central New York in retribution for attacks carried out by them and their British and Loyalist allies against Patriot separatists in Cobleskill, Wyoming Valley and Cherry Valley. The fate of Big Sky's village is unrecorded, but at the time almost the entirety of West Seneca was contained within the Buffalo Creek Reservation of the Seneca Nation (allies of the Onondaga), which was dissolved in 1842. |
