[Lord Howard of Effingham, Governor of Virginia 1683-1692, and New York Governor Thomas Dongan brokered a peace treaty in July 1684 with members of the Iroquis Confederacy following years of their violent raids against Virginia and Maryland settlers] Reply of the Maquas, Oneydas, Onandagas, and Cayonges to the proposals of Lord Howard of Effingham in the town house at Albany. The Maquas spoke first and laid the blame on the three other tribes, but accepted the peace and urged them to do the like. An Onandaga speaker followed, and finally the three erring nations "sang a song of peace, after their manner, with all imaginable demonstrations of joy that the peace was concluded." |
