Nanfan Treaty

Map showing the approximate range of the "Beaver Hunting Grounds" described in the Nanfan Treaty.

Deed from the Five Nations to the King, of their Beaver Hunting Ground, more commonly known as the Nanfan Treaty, was an agreement made between the representatives of the Iroquois Confederacy with John Nanfan, the acting colonial governor of New York, on behalf of the The Crown. The treaty was conducted in Albany, New York, on July 19, 1701, but was not ratified until September 14, 1726. The Iroquois granted the British crown title to a vast area of land, covering significant portions of the present-day Midwestern United States and southern Ontario that they claimed as a hunting ground.

As the vast majority of the Beaver Hunting Grounds described in the Nanfan Treaty were also claimed by New France or its Indian allies, the French did not recognize the treaty.
