Treaty of Fort Niagara

The Treaty of Fort Niagara, signed in 1764, was an agreement between British authorities and various Native American tribes. Its purpose was to establish peace, secure alliances, and regulate trade following the British takeover of French territories after the French and Indian War. The treaty recognized Native land rights, promised protection, and aimed to prevent conflicts. It helped to foster cooperation between the British and Native nations during a transitional period, although the relationships and land negotiations remained complex in the subsequent years.
