William Johnson
Representative of the British Crown
At the time of the 1760 Conquest, the British authorities stepped up their efforts to conclude treaties. William Johnson, who was appointed Superintendent of Indian Affairs, increased the number of congresses and councils, and this would result in numerous treaties, such the peace and friendship treaty (photo) concluded in Niagara between the Huron of Detroit and William Johnson, representative of the British Crown, on July 18, 1764.
