I'd really appreciate of you could clarify this doubt of mine :
i am just not able to understand how did you arrive at the conclusion that the canandaigua treaty was positive for natives?
They've mentioned how they had long pending payments ( which isn't too good) and no where has it been mentioned that it was positive for them...
Hope to hear from you soon...

Quote from the third para of the passage:
"Finally, the offer of a lump-sum payment was unanimously opposed by the Oneida delegates, who saw that
changing the terms of a treaty might jeopardize the many pending land claims based upon the treaty"
The bold faced text above clearly mentions that treaty helped natives in land claims.
