The rivalry between French and Dutch colonists affected Native Americans because Peter Minuit led a group of Dutch settlers to Manhattan on the mouth of the Hudson River. He bought it from the local Indians and called it New Amsterdam. More colonists settled nearby and together they became New Netherland (todays New York). Soon they enlarged New Netherland by taking over the colony of New Sweden.
