The Treaty of Canandaigua, a treaty establishing peace and friendship between the United States of America and the Six Nations of the Iroquois (Haudenosaunee), and affirming Haudenosaunee land rights in New York State, was the first diplomatic agreement entered into by the United States of America under its current Constitution. It was signed at Canandaigua, New York on November 11, 1794, by fifty sachems and war chiefs representing the Grand Council of the Six Nations, and by Timothy Pickering, official agent of President George Washington. The treaty, also known as the Pickering Treaty, is still actively recognized by the United States and the nations of the Haudenosaunee confederacy.
