Treaties were viewed somewhat differently in the 1600s and 1700s than they are today, especially by tribal entities.
The word treaty originally referred to the process of negotiation, and the discourse itself was at least as important as the written record of the agreement reached.
An example of the latter is the Treaty of Hartford of 1638 between the settlers and what was left of the Pequots after virtual annihilation of that tribe the prior year in a bloody massacre of the Indians.

 SparkNotes: The War of 1812 (1809-1815): Hartford Convention (1814)
Around the country, many took the meeting of the Hartford Convention to mean that New England was preparing to secede from the union.
At the end of the war, as the rest of the country celebrated the Treaty of Ghent, Federalists had to wonder why the war, with all the economic sacrifices it entailed, had ever been fought in the first place if the final result did nothing more than maintain the status quo.
These arguments, first made at the Hartford Convention in 1814, would be repeated in the 1850s, ultimately leading to the Civil War.

 A Glimpse of Treaties Relating to Letchworth Park
The 1826 Treaty of Buffalo Creek was the last to directly effect the lands within Letchworth Park.
That Treaty, had it gone in effect, would have forced the removal of the Seneca People to the west.
Although it can be argued that the last of the "Indian Title" to Letchworth Park was passed to the white man in the 1826 Treaty or when Dehgewanus left her lands in 1831, it can also be said that the Native connection to these lands have not, and never can be, extinguished.

By the Treaty of Hartford, entered into between New York and Massachusetts December 16, 1786, land within the territorial limits of New York was granted to Massachusetts in private ownership.

In this connection, it should be observed that in the Treaty of Hartford the words 'shore' and 'lake' were used synonymously, their choice being determined by convenience of expression.
