What flaws were there in treaties made with the English that upset tribes?

The conflicts between settlers and Native Americans is not necessarily flaws within the treaties, but a fight for natural resources. Before colonists, Native Americans had access to any lands, never faced periodic hunger and lacking the ability to read and write making them at a disadvantage in the English society. Taking a closer look at a treaty that was formed between the Iroquois tribe and the English, Michael M. Pomedli was able to make connections between the Condolence  rites, (scared rites practiced by the Iroquois) and the treaties. By spotting these connections it is easier to see how treaties were not the cause to the Iroquois's conflicts with the English. It was shocking to discover how much the English respected with Iroquois's Condolence rites. All five main components of these rites are present in some form within the trading treaties. One example is when the King of Delaware (this was around 1736) participated in the requickening rite, he was really dedicated and committed to the Iroquois by participating in their ritual and agreeing to their terms. The fact that the English made an effort to combine these two far fetched ideas of a treaty and make a common agreement is quite impressive. The English were extremely logical and wanted a more legal approach. While the Iroquois had a more spiritual approach and saw this pact as a very strong connection with the English. The way the English and the Iroquois combined spiritual and logical in such a successful way is truly remarkable. The main reason that drove the Iroquois away from the settlers was the lack of resources needed for survival. The settler's large use of natural resources drove the Iroquois away. Not their cruel and unfair treaties. Not all treaties worked as well as the Iroquois and the English, but knowing that this relationship existed puts a little hope in the possibility that not all Native American and European relationships were terrible.
