Answer 1

Chief Cornplanter was born sometime around the mid 1700's in New York. He was half white and half seneca. He became known for his abilities as a great war chief and was granted many acres for his service in fighting the British. In one famous battle against the British, knowing there were just too many to defeat, Cornplanter created diversions allowing many of his people to escape unharmed. History remembers him as primarily a peacemaker between his people and the Europeans. He learned that compromise was the only way to save the remants of his people from a complete genocide, as was the fate of the majority of the New York Natives.
