History
On August 4, 1701, the governor of New France and representatives from the Iroquois nations, as well as from more than 30 other First Nations allied with the French, signed the Great Peace of Montréal. The treaty ended nearly a century of conflict and established a general peace from Acadia to Lake Superior and from the headwaters of the Ottawa River to the confluence of the Missouri and the Mississippi. It ensured free access to vast hunting grounds, opened new fur-trading markets, and shaped relations among these First Nations until the 19th century.
