Received the query below from Austin. I suggested some printed sources, Li
Xiu Woo's UQAM thesis, and the George Decker Papers at St. John Fisher's
Lavery Library. Anyone know other archival resources on Deskaheh?

"I am an academic librarian in Austin Texas, and I am assisting a
professor who is working on the life of Chief Deskaheh (also called Levi
General), a leader of the Cayuga Iroquois who went to Europe in the 20s
to ask the League of Natiions to intercede between the Iroquois and the
Canadian government. When he returned, he was denied reentry into Canada
for a time and lived near Rochester, New York. Can you direct me to any
archival repositories that might contain material on Deskaheh? Thank you
for your time and attention."
