Preferred term

Handsome Lake  

Definition(s)

  • As a young man, Handsome Lake (1735–1815) participated in the French and Indian War (1754–1763) between the French and the English; Pontiac's Rebellion (1763–1766) between various Indian nations and the British; and the American Revolutionary War (1775–1783), during which he fought for the British. Following the American Revolutionary War, he saw the Seneca population had been decimated and their traditional lands reduced from 4,000,000 acres to fewer than 200,000 acres as factionalism, disease, and land cessions threatened the solidarity of the Iroquois League, to which the Senecas belonged.
