We cannot talk about the history of the Genesee River without talking about the history of the people who have lived along it. The Genesee Valley has been home to members of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy — specifically the Seneca tribe — for centuries. However, popular narratives of Rochester history all too often mischaracterize Indigenous people as a disappearing race or simply ignore their entrenched connections to the region. In analyzing works by two key historians, George Harris and Arthur Parker, we illustrate the importance of looking at how context, values, and visions for the future shape the way people have written about the Haudenosaunee.
