<P> The subsequent Great Peace of Montreal was signed in 1701 in Montreal by 39 Indian chiefs and the French . In the treaty , the Iroquois agreed to stop marauding and to allow refugees from the Great Lakes to return east . The Shawnee eventually regained control of the Ohio Country and the lower Allegheny River . The Miami tribe returned to take control of modern Indiana and north - west Ohio . The Pottawatomie went to Michigan , and the Illinois tribe to Illinois . With the Dutch long removed from North America , the English had become just as powerful as the French . The Iroquois came to see that they held the balance of power between the two European powers and they used that position to their benefit for the decades to come . Their society began to quickly change as the tribes began to focus on building up a strong nation , improving their farming technology , and educating their population . The peace was lasting and it would not be until the 1720s that their territory would again be threatened by the Europeans . </P>
