==Cornplanter Monument== Before his death in 1836, Cornplanter had requested a grave with no marker. In 1866, however, the State of Pennsylvania installed a monument over his grave, "believed to be first monument erected in honor of a Native American in the United States."<ref name="dedication"/> Hon. [[James Ross Snowden]] of Philadelphia gave the dedicatory address, saying in part: {{blockquote|He was a dauntless warrior and wisest statesman of his nation, the patriarch of this tribe and the peacemaker of his race. He was a model man from nature's mould. Truth, temperance, justice and humanity, never had a nobler incarnation or more earnest and consistent advocate then he. As we loved him personally, and revere the nobel, manly character he bore, we erect this tribute to his memory, that those who live after us may know and imitate his virtues.<ref name="dedication">{{Cite web | title = Cornplanter - Gyantwahia Biography | work = Seneca Nation of Indians Blog / SNI Archives Dept. | access-date = 2012-09-23 | url = http://blog.senecanation.com/post/Cornplanter-Gyantwahia-Biography.aspx | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20130609142047/http://blog.senecanation.com/post/Cornplanter-Gyantwahia-Biography.aspx | archive-date = 2013-06-09 | url-status = dead }}</ref>}}
