The life of Captain Hendrick Aupaumut (1757-1830), a Stockbridge Mohican sachem, diplomat, and historian, illustrates the limited victories and painful dilemmas of a culture broker in the American Northeast. During the 1790s Aupaumut undertook four missions to the Ohio country to broker a peace between the United States and the native villages confederated in opposition to the Anglo-American advance. Ostensibly Aupaumut represented the United States, but he acted primarily to revitalize Mohican autonomy and influence as the « front door » between the Anglo-Americans and the Algonquian people to the West
