325th anniversary of the Great Peace of Montréal of 1701

In the summer of 1701, on the current site of Pointe-à-Callière, cité d’archéologie et d’histoire de Montréal, 38 Indigenous nations, as well as the French and the Canadians, gather to make peace and bring an end to nearly a century of conflict in New France. This historic meeting gives rise to an unprecedented moment of discussion, alliance, and negotiation. Together, they sign the Treaty of the Great Peace of Montréal, a major diplomatic gesture whose impact still resonates today.
