The Great Peace of Montréal of 1701 was a major event in North American history. This peace treaty put an end to almost a century of war between the French and their Native allies on the one hand and the Five Nations Iroquois on the other. Thirty-nine Aboriginal nations sent ambassadors to Montréal from such far-flung areas as Illinois, the Great Lakes region, James Bay, Acadia, Iroquoia and the St. Lawrence ‘settlements’. The conference was a spectacular event, making Montréal the intercultural crossroads of North America
