On April 12, 1666, representatives from three different indigenous nations addressed the Upper House of the General Assembly of Maryland. They were Mattagund, Choatick, and Isapatawn. Each addressed complaints of English livestock destroying essential food sources, encroachment by the settlers on their lands, the safety when traveling among the English, maintenance of fishing rights, and their desire for protection of their women and children from their common foes. A similar presentation was made to the Lower House after which the Articles of Peace and Amity were drawn up and signed on April 20, as the 1666 Piscataway Treaty.
