	Covenant Chain :: The Encyclopedia of New York State :: Syracuse University Press
		The Covenant Chain grew out of the governing practices of the Iroquois Confederacy and diplomatic relations between the Europeans and American Indians living in New York.
		Thus the Covenant Chain alliance grew to include more and more tribes and colonies, all trying to use the mediation process promoted by the alliance to achieve their own ends.
		As the aims of the various groups came into sharper opposition during the 18th century, the Covenant Chain became less useful as a means to reach accord.

	covenant chain
		The Covenant Chain was an ongoing set of councils and treaties between the English colonies in North America and the Iroquois Confederacy.
		After the breakdown in the Covenant Chain, the English Government stopped allowing local officials to negotiate state matters with the Iroquois and took a much more active role; dealing with the Confederacy as a sovereign Nation.
		It was called the Covenant Chain because the metaphor for that relationship was a silver chain that tied the white man's ship and the Iroquois canoe to the Tree of Peace.

		The fragility of many of these ententes required more formal covenants, or a change from an iron chain which tended to rust to a silver chain.
		These agreements or treaties required periodic renewals accompanied by substantial aid to the Iroquois League, or polishing of the silver chain in the native metaphor.

	Lord Nelson's - Jud Hartmann Garakontie Bronze
		His influence was such that all European powers who wished to deal with the Five Nations adopted the Iroquois diplomatic protocol rather than imposing their own as they did elsewhere in the world.
		Garakontie's greatest diplomatic achievement was the establishment in July, 1677 of the "Covenant Chain" (a chain of silver, which will not break or rust), between the Five Nations, the Governor-General of New York, the New England and Chesapeake colonies and numerous dependent Indian nations.
		Ultimately, the Covenant Chain secured the victory of the English language, customs, religion and economic system over all of England's rivals.

	Iroquois
		Essentially, the Covenant Chain was a trade and military alliance which gave the Iroquois the authority to represent its members with Europeans, but there was no vote or direct representation in the League council, Worse yet, the Iroquois were often arrogant and placed their own interests first.
		There were several advantages for the British: it kept the Covenant Chain tribes from falling under French influence; negotiations with Native Americans were simplified since the British only had to deal with the Iroquois; and it also allowed the British to call upon the League a "policeman" in case of trouble.
		Perhaps the Covenant Chain's worst feature was the Iroquois often placed their own (or British) interests ahead of tribes they were supposed to represent.

	Indians and the American Revolution
		By the Proclamation of 1763, the lands beyond the Appalachian mountain chain were declared off limits to colonial governments, the lands being "reserved" to the Indians under the cognizance of the British Crown which reasserted its sovereignty and control over the area.
		Though speculative in origin and based on ignorance of the geography of the New World and of the power of the Indian nations in the interior, the charters were brought forth in legal arguments whenever the possibility of their full realization was possible.
		During the period 1763 to 1775, a series of boundaries between the colonists and the Indians of the interior were created from Lake Ontario to Florida, confirming in the minds of Indians (and of many colonists) the belief that the Indian country was closed to speculation and settlement by the increasingly aggressive colonists.
