Augusta Assembly

The Augusta Convention (XXXX-YYYY), known as the First Augusta Congress was a meeting held in Ville de Augusta, Augusta that consisted of representatives from the Audonic Chênique, the Sagadahoc Nehiyawah and the Maskwacis Nehiyawak. It was the first gathering of the Chênique and Maskwacis Nehiyawak which aimed to create a union with the new Audonic settlers alongside the Sagadahoc Nehiyawah and Maskwacis Nehiyawak. Before the Augusta Convention, the Audonic Chênique had been living as independent trade posts with independent mints, issues and towns that often caused problems between independent trading posts.

The Augusta Convention consisted of twenty delegates. Ten of the delegates represented independent Audonic Chênique trading posts, with five representing the Maskwacis Nehiyawak and the final five representing the Sagadahoc Nehiyawah. Additional aims from this convention were devised to help the different groups break the language barriers that existed at the time. However, the Maskwacis Nehiyawak would later withdraw their delegation from the Augusta Convention due to the conservative attitudes towards the foreigners that was not shared by the Sagadahoc Nehiyawak.

Ville de Augusta was the landing point of the original Audonic Chênique that landed from Belisaria, and would be determined to be the governing center for the independent trading posts that would come to unify into what was considered to be East Chenes, rendered as Chênes de l'Est. Delegates from the Maskwacis Nehiyawak, before their withdrawal, demanded that independent Audonic Chênique trading posts not cross Sagadahoc Nehiyawak borders with their own tribe. This included any allied tribes with the Maskwacis Nehiyawak.

The Augusta Convention would continue for a month after the leaving of the Maskwacis Nehiyawak delegation. The Convention ended when the delegates of the Audonic Chênique, with the agreement of the Sagadahoc Nehiyawak, signed the Constitution Chênes de l'Est.
