Campbell wrote, “A restoration of the ancient order of things is all that is necessary to the happiness and usefulness of christians. . . .

What Cowdery calls “the Buffalo tribe” was a part of the Seneca Nation of Indians (one nation of the Iroquois Confederacy) living on Buffalo Creek Reservation at the site of what is now West Seneca, New York, southeast of the city of Buffalo. Parley P. Pratt described the visit: “We called on an Indian nation at or near Buffalo; and spent part of a day with them, instructing them in the knowledge of the record of their forefathers. We were kindly received, and much interest was manifested by them on hearing this news. We made a present of two copies of the Book of Mormon to certain of them who could read, and repaired to Buffalo. Thence we continued our journey.” Pratt later referred to them as the “Catteraugus Indians.” (Pratt, Autobiography, 49, 61.)
