Treaty of 1677

Treaty of 1677

The Treaty of 1677 (or the Treaty Between Virginia And The Indians 1677) was signed in Virginia on May 28, 1677 between Charles II of England and representatives from various Native American tribes. Based on the terms of the accord, the Native Americans in Virginia were to swear fealty to the British Empire. Moreover, the Indians were permitted to maintain their territories and fishing rights. The twenty-one articles of the treaty were confirmed when England sent gifts to the Native American chiefs along with various badges of authority. The Queen of Pamunkey received a red velvet cap which was fastened with a silver frontlet and silver chains. ["Treaty Between Virginia And The Indians 1677" (Bay Link, 1997).]
