He remained faithful to the British during the Revolutionary War. In 1792 he visited President George Washington in Philadelphia, where he was presented a silver medal as a token of friendship and esteem. Red Jacket died on the former Buffalo Reservation on lands now within the city limits of Buffalo, New York, on January 20, 1830. In 1884, Red Jacket's remains were removed to the Forest Lawn Cemetery in Buffalo, New York, where a monument to Red Jacket was unveiled on June 22, 1891.
