PROVENANCE
The Rochester Museum & Science Center acquired the Freeman C. Johnson
Collection by purchase. Upon the death of Freeman and Arlene Johnson , Mr.
and Mrs. William Veltz, neighbors of the Johnsons, inherited their house and
personal possessions. Realizing the importance of keeping Freeman Johnson’s
materials together as a collection, the Veltzes contacted the Rochester Museum &
Science Center. After reviewing the items, the Museum decided to purchase the
Johnson Collection in November, 1970.
SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE
The Freeman C. Johnson Collection contains a great variety of archival material
including manuscripts, typescripts, printed materials and photographs. This material
spans the period of Johnson’s lifetime beginning from young adulthood, about 1900.
The manuscripts include personal and business letters (many to and from noted
government officials), speeches, copies of treaties, and lists in an Iroquoian language.
Printed materials include such items as school diplomas, maps, copies of legislative bills,
books, and newspaper articles.
The Johnson Collection also includes American Indian material such as articles of
clothing, head dresses, jewelry, beads, feathers, etc., which can be found in the
anthropological section of the Museum collection
BIOGRAPHY*
Freeman C. Johnson was a member of the Tonawanda Band of Senecas born on the
Tonawanda Indian Reservation on June 14, 1886. His parents were Herbert Johnson and
Lucinda Printup Johnson. Born into the Wolf clan, Johnson was descended from a large
and prominent family.. His great-grandfather was the Seneca warrior Blacksquirrel, who
fought in the War of 1812. His paternal grandmother was Lucinda Blacksquirrel Ground,
and his great-aunt was Nancy Blacksquirrel Miller, who reportedly lived to be 109. His
uncle, Charles Johnson, was a Bear clan sachem at Tonawanda.
Johnson probably attended one of the one-room schools on the reservation. His mother
died in 1897 when Johnson was 10 years old, leaving behind not only her son Freeman,
but two older brothers, Herbert Jr. (1880-1910), Alva (1883-1908), and two younger
sisters, Ella (1890-1988), and Delia, or Dorothy (1895-circa 1980). After his mother's
death, Johnson attended Carlisle Indian School, Carlisle, Pennsylvania, beginning June
28, 1900. He was a member of the school band, learning to play the clarinet and the
saxophone. While at Carlisle, Johnson met Jim Thorpe, another Carlisle student, who
became a noted Indian athlete. Johnson graduated April 4, 1907, receiving his diploma in
tailoring.
After graduating from Carlisle, Johnson returned to the reservation. Traditionally, each
Seneca is given a clan name, first as a child, then, a new name as an adult. At the age of
21, he was given the name of Gah-squa-e-wo, meaning "Handsome Stone."
Johnson was living in Rochester, NY in the early 1900s, where he found work as a tailor.
In 1916, Johnson joined a fraternal organization known as the Improved Order of Red
Men (I.O.R.M.). He joined the local Rochester chapter, or tribe, named the Wahbee. The
fraternal order was based loosely on the Iroquois Confederacy; each chapter was known
as a tribe, and the overall leader of the organization was referred to as the "Great
Sachem." Members of the I.O.R.M. tended to dress up in "traditional" Indian garb for

certain ceremonial occasions. Johnson was appointed Deputy Great Sachem in 1926. He
continued to be active in the Order of the Red Men for several years.
In 1926, the Wolf clan sachem for the Tonawanda Senecas, Thomas Poodry, passed
away. Poodry had succeeded Ely S. Parker as Do-ne-ho-ga-wenh, the "Open Door." A
dispute arose over who was the rightful candidate to succeed Poodry. One faction named
his brother, Edward Poodry, Jr., while another named Johnson as Do-ne-ho-ga-wenh,
with both men claiming the title.The controversy apparently ended with Edward
PoodryÕs death in 1930. As the only claimant, Johnson remained Wolf clan sachem until
his own death.
Johnson continued working as a tailor. He was active as a member of the Chief's Council
of the Tonawanda Band of Senecas. He also participated in Indian pageants and other
events in the Rochester area. Photographs from this time period show him, in full regalia,
at pageants in Ellison Park. Other people in these photographs include his sister Delia, his
sister Ella, and her husband, Chief Harrison Ground.
During his adult life Chief Johnson devoted unlimited time to fellow Native Americans
and to helping non-Indians to better understand traditional Iroquois culture. He was
involved in numerous community activities and frequently gave speeches and wrote
letters about legislation concerning the American Indian.
Johnson was one of the people instrumental in preserving Gannagaro, a historic sixteenth
century Seneca village, located in what is now Victor, New York. The site has been
known to archaeologists as Boughton Hill, and the area eventually became Ganondagan,
a state historic site.
He was also involved in the commemoration activities related to the Pickering Treaty, or
Canandaigua Treaty of 1794. This treaty between the United States and the Iroquois
Confederacy affirmed the Confederacy's land rights in New York State. Along with
Sheldon Fisher and Jane Rode LeClair (two non-Indians who became adopted Senecas),
Johnson was active in ensuring recognition of the treaty's continued validity.
Johnson spent much of his life educating people about the Iroquois, and their place in
history. He spoke to numerous schoolchildren and scout groups. He would often appear
wearing a Plains-style headdress and beaded outfit. Later in life, Johnson began wearing
the traditional Seneca headdress, known as a gustoweh. This particular style of headdress
had long fallen out of fashion, and it wasn't until the early seventies that it reclaimed its
place as the headwear of choice for Iroquois men dressed in traditional clothing.
Johnson was married September 26, 1942, to Arlene Gelder, a non-Indian from
Rochester, New York.
Johnson died at the age of 82 on April 13, 1969, as a result of an automobile accident.
Mrs. Johnson died shortly thereafter on May 6, 1969 due to the same accident. After his
death, many of his personal possessions were acquired by the Rochester Museum &
Science Center, including several pieces of traditional clothing, letters and speeches, and
numerous photographs dating from the 1890s to the 1960s. These, along with other items
related to him, are contained in the Freeman Johnson Collection.
Freeman Johnson and his wife are buried in Holy Sepulcher Cemetery in Rochester, New
York.
