Another of the tribes in the confederacy of the Six Nations, once
numerous, but reduced at present to the number of 500. This little
tribe are living on their reserve, a fine tract of land, near Buffalo,
in the state of New York, and surrounded by civilized settlements.
Many of them are good farmers, raising abundant and fine crops.
The chief of the tribe is a very dignified man, by the name of
_Cu-sick_, and his son, of the same name, whom I have painted (+plate+
202), is a very talented man—has been educated for the pulpit in some
one of our public institutions, and is now a Baptist preacher, and I am
told a very eloquent speaker.
