notes: label: Collection History
content: Formerly owned by Chief Nicodemus Bailey (Tonawanda Seneca, 1887-1966); donated to MAI by Chief Bailey in 1940. While several cabins existed on Seneca reservations in New York State at that time, most have since been destroyed by fire or other forces or incorporated into more recent structures, leaving the NMAI cabin as one of the last in existence. The photos shown here illustrate the cabin both on the Tonawanda Reservation and after it was reconstructed on the grounds of the MAI Research Branch in the Bronx, New York.
