Historic Timeline

The Stamp Act of 1765 prompted a wave of colonial opposition, with public protests culminating in a coordinated response from representatives across the 13 colonies and setting the stage for revolutionary action.

The Battle of Lake George represented an important victory of the British and Haudenosaunee alliance, and provides the foundation for our Society's Broken Arrow Ceremony.

In 1754, cross-colony representatives gathered in Albany for a diplomatic congress with the Haudenosaunee Confederacy in an early show of colonial unity and recognition of the influence indigenous nations retained in the colonial space.

Fought between the British and French colonial powers and their indigenous allies, the French and Indian War was crucial in deciding the future balance of power on the continent, and contributed directly to the tensions that would culminate in the American Revolution.
