| Anglo-Native Virginia: Trade, Conversion, and Indian Slavery in the Old Dominion, 1646-1722 Subjects: Virginia -- History -- Colonial period ca. 1600–1775; Indians of North America -- Virginia -- History; British Americans -- Virginia -- History; Colonists -- Virginia -- History; Indians of North America -- Virginia -- Treaties; Indians of North America; The 1646 Treaty of Peace with Necotowance in Virginia fundamentally changed relationships between Native Americans and the English settlers of Virginia. Virginians were unique in their interaction with Native peoples in part because of their tributary system, a practice that became codified with the 1646 Treaty of Peace with the former Powhatan Confederacy. This book traces English establishment of tributary status for its Native allies and the phrasing and concept of foreign Indians for non-allied Natives.
