All right. Welcome everyone, today were going to be talking about diplomacy on the early american frontier, politically between native American Peoples and european peoples. We will talk about some of the customs and protocols that governed that style of diplomacy and the objectives that both native American Peoples and colonial peoples brought to those meetings. I have an image here that is actually a painting from 1903 that is depicting one such treaty conference that went on on the frontier of new york in the Mohawk Valley.
