During the time, the Iroquois Confederacy had influence throughout the land, and due to its occupancy, the Six Nations engaged in various treaties, for multiple reasons, with the English and the French. The Natives had the power to control the interactions between them and the Europeans in the colonial frontiers and the cities by the English, French, and Spanish throughout the continent (Shannon, 2008). With power in its position, the terms of negotiation were established by the Iroquois Confederacy on the Europeans, Native American standings, and traditions.ĭuring the start of the 18th century, the Europeans had not touched much of the Native American lands. The occupancy and impact the Six Nations had in the northeastern side of North America made it a significant force acknowledged by the European colonists and the royals to treat the Nations as respected equals (Merrell, 2008). However, by the start of the 18th century, the influence of the Iroquois Confederacy was felt in the current states of West Virginia and Ohio and Canada’s Montreal. The land occupied by the Six Nations traversed much of what is now the great state of New York. At the time, the northern-based Six Nations, or the Iroquois Confederacy, was one of the most powerful nations in the Native American territories (Shannon, 2008). The relations between the Europeans and the Native Americans during the 18th century were a normal incidence both in the colonial frontiers and in English, French, and Spanish cities throughout the American continent.
