Introduction

Dating back to Alliance agreements between the Kanienʼkehá꞉ka and the Dutch in the 17th century, the Covenant Chain between the British and the Haudenosaunee dating back to around 1666, which expanded during the Seven Years War to include Seven Nations and the Anishinaabek. The Alliance was reconfirmed between all parties gathered at the Treaty of Niagara in 1764, and became the defining alliance between all Great Lakes peoples moving forward. Many subsequent Treaty and land purchase agreements were considered to be a part of and governed by the terms of the Covenant Chain Alliance.
