Casco Bay Articles, 1727
(Adhesion to the first Peace and Friendship Treaty of December 15, 1725.)

Document Summary:
Some Aboriginal tribes and the British unanimously and equally agree upon a method of keeping the peace in Nova Scotia and Acadia.

Should an Aboriginal tribe become unlawful, other Aboriginal nations who signed the Peace and Friendship treaties of 1725 are to furnish and supply 150 men and a leader. The British will contribute 250 men, and merge forces. This group will then be granted the right to pursue any unlawful Aboriginals by land or sea, and can take whatever means necessary to convince these people that they must live peacefully and quietly, and abide by British law.

The forces are to be paid and managed by the British under a general officer selected by the English governor.
