The Canandaigua Treaty Committee was established during 1984 in order to promote and perpetuate the Great Peace Treaty of 1794. The goal of the Committee is to effect a wider knowledge of this important document and to help secure public interest and participation in this historic event. The Canandaigua (or Pickering) Treaty was signed by the Chiefs of the Six Nations of the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) and representatives of the United States Government on November 11, 1794
