Ely (also called Hasanoanda and Donehogawa) Parker was born in 1828 in Indian Falls, New York, then part of the Tonawanda Reservation. Parker's Seneca family were leading members of the Iroquois Confederacy. He attended Yates and Cayuga Academies and studied law at Ellicottville, but was denied admission to the New York state bar because he was not technically an American citizen. Parker then took up engineering and worked on canals in New York. He also represented the Tonawanda Senecas in a dispute with the Ogden Land Company and helped negotiate a treaty preserving the Tonawanda Reservation in 1857. He was a leading ambassador of the Iroquois Confederacy and worked closely with Lewis Henry Morgan, who later dedicated his book on the Iroquois to Parker. Parker met Ulysses S. Grant while working for the U.S. Treasury Department in Galena, Illinois, and served on Grant's personal staff during the Civil War. Grant appointed Parker Commissioner of Indian Affairs in 1869, and he was the first Native American to hold that position. He resigned the position after two years and retired to Connecticut, eventually spending 19 years as a clerk in the New York City Police Department. Parker died in Fairfield, Connecticut, on August 30, 1895.

Ely Samuel Parker (1828-1895) was a full blooded Seneca Indian and sachem of the Six Nations. At the age of 19 he served as a representative of his people to Washington, championing their cause against removal to the west. During the Civil War he became Grant's military secretary and for meritorious service won the brevet appointment of brigadier-general. From 1869-1871 Parker was Commissioner of Indian Affairs. In later years Parker ventured into business, with mixed results, and held positions on the New York Police Department.

Born on a Seneca Reservation in western New York, educated in white schools, friend of Ulysses Grant and his military secretary during the Civil War, he was appointed by President Grant as the first native American Commissioner of Indian Affairs.

From the description of Letter, Feb. 17, 1887. (Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library). WorldCat record id: 53458384

Seneca Indian, advocate of the Tonawanda Senecas and chief of the Wolf clan, civil engineer, military secretary to U.S. Grant, U.S. Commissioner of Indian Affairs, stock trader, and clerk in the New York City police department.

Born in 1825 in Genesee County, N.Y. and educated at Elder Stone's Baptist School, Yates Academy, and Cayuga Academy, Parker worked to regain Seneca lands in western New York (1842-1857). Prior to the Civil War he was employed as a civil engineer on projects for the U.S. government and in New York; during the war, Parker served as a captain of engineers until 1864 when he was appointed Grant's personal military secretary. Parker continued on Grant's staff until 1869 when he was appointed Commissioner of Indian Affairs. There he attempted to root out corruption, and although exonerated of corruption charges himself, Parker resigned his position in 1871. He later made and lost a fortune on the New York stock market (1873-1875) and worked as a clerk in the New York City police department (1876-1895).

A sachem of the Seneca nation, adjutant to Ulysses S. Grant during the Civil War, and a political and cultural intermediary, Ely Samuel Parker (Hasanoanda) was a pivotal figure in the Seneca nation during the second quarter of the 19th century. Born on the Tonawanda Reservation in western New York in 1828, the son of Elizabeth Johnson and William Parker, Ely Parker was educated at a Baptist mission school and at the Cayuga Academy in Aurora, N.Y. A bright and articulate young man, he was well respected by his elders and was rewarded with positions of responsibility early in life. His teenage years were a time of crisis for the Seneca nation, which was beset on all sides by white settlers and by the specious claims on their land by the Ogden Land Company. Parker took on the struggle, serving as an intermediary with the federal government during negotiations over the Buffalo Creek treaties of 1838 and 1842, and he represented the Senecas in other legal and political affairs. Parker was elevated to sachem in 1852, assuming the name Donehogawa previously held by John Blacksmith.

Parker's name in the white world was also established early. Before he turned 20, he met the protoethnologist Lewis Henry Morgan and became a principal consultant in preparation of the League of the Ho-Dé-No-Sau-Nee (Rochester, 1851), and through Morgan he gained access to the wider white world of intellectuals and politicians. With training as an engineer, Parker garnered positions on public canal projects throughout the state, seeing his circle of acquaintances steadily expand. He took a warm interest in partisan politics in New York, joining both the freemasons and the militia as well as Morgan's Grand Council of the Iroquois to further himself. Both he and his brother Nicholas were also regularly engaged to lecture on Seneca history and culture to white audiences, becoming recognized as authorities.

In 1857, Parker was hired to assist in the construction of the new custom house in Galena, Ill., where he befriended a relatively obscure army officer, Ulysses S. Grant. The Grant connection would serve Parker well. Although Parker's attempts to join the army at the outbreak of the Civil War were repeatedly rebuffed, first because of his engineering obligations and later because he was an Indian, he finally succeeded in securing a commission as Captain of Engineers in 1863. By the end of that year, he was assigned to duty on Grant's staff. Following Grant from Chattanooga to Virginia, Parker was given the honor at Appomattox of writing down the terms of surrender for the Army of Northern Virginia, and was brevetted Brigadier General for his services in 1865. He married a white woman, Minnie Sackett, on Christmas day, 1867.

Following Grant's election to the presidency, Parker was appointed Commissioner of Indian Affairs on April 13, 1869. During a controversial three year tenure, he spearheaded Grant's "peace plan," essentially abolishing the treaty system in favor of Christianization and assimilation and emphasizing the mutual responsibility of the federal government and the Indian nations in preserving peace. Political opposition to these policies plagued Parker, however, and his opponents leveled charges of fraud against him in Congress. Although he was acquitted, Parker resigned his post in 1871, and with his finances damaged in the Panic of 1873, he spent the last years of his life in Fairfield, Conn., in relative obscurity and poverty.

Having suffered for years from diabetes, Parker died after a lengthy decline on August 30, 1895. He was buried at Oak Lawn Cemetery in Fairfield, Conn., but was reinterred in Forest Lawn Cemetery in Buffalo on January 20, 1897, and is now situated near several other Seneca notables, including Red Jacket. Ironically, forty five years previously Parker had vehemently protested the reinterment of Red Jacket's bones in this same cemetery.
