	Mahican
		Although the Mahican had remained friendly, the Dutch intervention was not appreciated by the tribes of the lower river and may have contributed to a brief but bloody conflict with the Wappinger that year known as the Peach War.
		Although subject, the Mahican still exercised considerable respect and influence within the Iroquois councils, and under the protection of the Mahican, a group of Shawnee from South Carolina in 1692 were allowed to move in among the Munsee Delaware in northeast Pennsylvania.
		Especially galling were the Mahican and Wappinger lands along the Hudson River confiscated by New York or occupied by white squatters after the Mahican and Wappinger families in the area had been forced to leave in 1758 by the threat of massacre.
