Tom Arne Midtrød, Ph.D. discusses how the outbreak of the Seven Years’ War affected Mahican and Munsee-speaking populations in the Hudson Valley. During this conflict, many Native groups felt themselves pressured to relocate to new areas both inside and outside of the Valley, creating a refugee crisis that led to a varied of responses from both colonial officials and the Mohawks and other members of the Iroquois (Haudenosaunee) Six Nations.
