I am Dekanawidah [identified as the traditional founder of the Iroquois
Confederacy] and with the Five Nations confederate [united for a common purpose]
lords I plant the Tree of the Great Peace. . . . Under the shade of this Tree of the
Great Peace we spread the soft white feathery down of the globe thistle as seats for
you Adodarhoh [an Onondaga chief], and your cousin lords. . . . There shall you sit
and watch the council fire of the confederacy of the Five Nations, and all the affairs
of the Five Nations shall be transacted at this place before you.. . .We place at the
top of the Tree of the Long Leaves an eagle who is able to see afar. If he sees in the
distance any evil approaching or any danger threatening he will at once warn the
people of the confederacy. The smoke of the confederate council fire shall ever
ascend and pierce the sky so that other nations who may be allies may see the
council fire of the Great Peace . . .

In the spring of 1607, a group of 105 colonists, funded by the Virginia Company,
arrived in Virginia. They sailed into Chesapeake Bay and began building houses
along the James River. They named their tiny outpost Jamestown after their king.
The settlers of Jamestown hoped to make a profit by finding gold or other riches.
They also hoped to discover a water route to Asia. Further, they wanted to claim the
region for England.
The colonists soon discovered that Jamestown was located in a swampy area. The
water was unhealthy, and mosquitoes spread malaria. Many settlers suffered or died
from disease. Historians have long debated the reason the settlers chose the location
they did. One of the main reasons was security: they located their settlement in a
place where Spanish ships would be unlikely to find them. If the Spanish did
discover Jamestown, its location would make it difficult for Spanish ships to fire
directly at the settlement.

France took the lead in colonizing the Upper Midwest region. From the early
sixteenth century on, French soldiers, missionaries and fur traders left their slight
mark upon the St. Lawrence valley, the upper Great Lakes and points west. For the
early French explorers, the more continent they discovered the more their hopes
were frustrated. They had hoped that the vast St. Lawrence-Great Lakes waterway
was part of a Northwest Passage to the wealth of the Orient. The French presence
was asserted by a network of forts, trading posts and missions dotting the lake and
river routes traversing the continental interior.
