The Seneca Nation of Indians is a BIA agency and not a part of the Haudenossunee Confederacy. SNI voluntarily abandoned the Haudenosaunee Confederacy in 1848. The BIA-SNI has never been a part of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. The Canandaigua Treaty of 1794 was made with the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, also known historically as "The Six Nations". The Bureau of Indian Affairs-Seneca Nation of Indians was created by the United States government in 1848. 54 years after the signing of the Canandaigua treaty.

For the most part, this racist format is still in use and is presenting itself as one of the highest forms of insidious colonization of the Haudenosaunee people today. There is now at least one university that is addressing this issue. But this issue has never been addressed formally in the public forums, to my knowledge. Perhaps only quietly in the halls of academia. It is now time. This article is intended to start the healing process of this situation. This subject has been brooch previously in articles 23 and 62. These two articles should be read before addressing this one.
