Peter Stuyvesant and Native American Indians, 17th Century. Stuyvesant (1612-1672) maintained a diplomatic truce with the Indians after the Peach Tree War. The Peach Tree War was a large scale attack by the Susquehannock Nation and allied Native Americans on several New Netherland settlements along the North River, centred on New Amsterdam and Pavonia on September 15, 1655. Many outlying Dutch settlements were forced to temporarily garrison in Fort Amsterdam. Director-General Stuyvesant shortly repurchased the rights to settle the west bank of the North River from the Native Americans. | |
