After the Kingdom of the Netherlands was created after the end of the wars in Europe, the fledgling kingdom still recognized the Treaty of Perpetual Alliance dating back to 1658. The kingdom, together with the Dutch West India company, offered the Cayuga, Mohawk, and Seneca land within the Tussenland colony which they could rule as their own. In 1816, the Irokesenlandt Land Grant was signed, which officially recognized an Iroquois nation ruling autonomously within the Tussenland colony. This land grant, however, put the Dutch in a strong position against the Iroquois. The Iroquois' influence started to wane and Dutch manipulating Iroquois policy would be a common trend throughout the 19th century (including the controversial strong-arming and pressuring of the Dutch to sell the eastern part of Irokesenlandt to Virginia in 1848). |
