With the conquest of New France by British forces in 1760, Native peoples living in villages along the St. Lawrence River were forced to negotiate a new alliance. The Seven Nations of Canada brought together Mohawks, Abenakis, Hurons, Algonquins, and Nipissings who lived in missions and appear in Indian Department documents with increasing frequency after the 1760s. This book by Jean-Pierre Sawaya attempts to trace the organization and importance of this league based on information found in government reports of its diplomatic activity. |
