From their earliest encounters with seaborne strangers from the
east in the sixteenth century to the end of the Seven Years' War in
1763, scattered bands of Native hunter-gatherers across
northeastern North America came together to undertake an immense
political project. Their campaign of sea and shore, emboldened by a
revolutionary technology, brought wealth, honor, and power to their
confederacy while alienating colonial neighbors and thwarting
English and French imperialism. Afloat, Indian hunter-warriors
commanded fleets of sailing ships and coordinated punitive and
plundering assaults on the heart of England's Atlantic economy.
Ashore, Indian diplomats engaged in shrewd transatlantic
negotiations with imperial officials of French Acadia and New
England. Wabanaki communities had long looked to the sea for
opportunities. By the Atlantic's Age of Sail, the People of the
Dawn were mobilizing it to achieve a Native dominion governed by
its sovereign masters and enriched by its profitable and compliant
tributaries.
