Seven Nations of Canada

Years: 1700 - 1803

The Seven Nations of The Iroquois Confederacy are a historic confederation of First Nations living in and around the Saint Lawrence River valley beginning in the eighteenth century.

They are allied to New France and often include substantial numbers of Roman Catholic converts.

During the Seven Years' War (1756-1763), they support the French against the English.

Later, they form the northern nucleus of the British-led Aboriginal alliance that fights the United States in the American Revolutionary War and the War of 1812.

The Seven Nations are: Mohawk of Akwesasne Mohawk of Kahnawake Mohawk and Anishinaabeg (Algonquin and Nipissing) of Kanesetake Abenaki of Odanak Abenaki of Becancour (now Wôlinak) Huron of Jeune-Lorette (now Wendake) Onondaga of Oswegatchie
