1767-Jan.-14: Reports from London confirmed the arrival of three Iroquois chiefs who traveled from the region between New York and Lake Ontario to seek an audience with the King. Accompanied by their wives and a small suite, they intended to lodge a formal complaint against the inhabitants of New York for seizing their ancestral lands.

This diplomatic mission underscores the ongoing tensions over territorial expansion in the British North American colonies.
