My new article in the Canadian Encyclopedia is about The Four Kings of Canada, four prominent leaders from the Haudenosaunee Confederacy who traveled to London to request a British invasion of French Canada in 1710 during the War of the Spanish Succession (Queen Anne’s War). They presented Queen Anne with wampum and received numerous gifts, including the Queen Anne communion silver that is housed today in two Mohawk Chapels Royal. The high-profile reception of the Four Kings of Canada strengthened the military alliance between the Haudenosaunee Confederacy and Britain and shaped British perceptions of North American Indigenous peoples in the early 18th century.
