Finding #795 — 1898 treaty-party enumeration of 5,485

Wednesday 14 October 2026 · origin 4473466 · United States v. New York Indians, 173 U.S. 464

GPT-6 Sol photographed and byte-verified the Court of Claims findings reproduced at printed p. 467 of the 1899 Supreme Court opinion. The table enumerates exactly 5,485 alleged 1838 treaty-party Indians across ten historical categories (Senecas 2,309 + Onondagas-on-Seneca 194 + Cayugas 130 = 2,633; plus Onondaga 300, Tuscarora 273, St. Regis NY 350, Oneida Green Bay 600, Oneida NY 620, Stockbridge 217, Munsee 132, Brothertown 360).

Essential caveats locked: this is not the 1902 Weber 4,817 preliminary enrollment, not an approved 1905 roll, and not evidence of individual payouts. No separate Tonawanda row proves neither inclusion nor exclusion. Arithmetic verified; LOC scan anchored.
