Chumahan is a member of the Oneida Nation from New York State. Part of the Iroquois Indian Confederacy which was a group of six Indian nations held together under one government. The Oneida were one of the key allies of the Colonials during the revolutionary War. Soon After the War ended the colonialist started dispossessing the Oneida of the Land in New York.

The text used is The Oneida Fort Schuyler Treaty which was a contract between the Oneida Nation of Indians and the State of New York signed in 1788 that ceded all The Oneidas land to the State of New York in perpetuity.
