Iroquois (Haudenosaunee) History and Culture - Paperback

by Mark Stewart (Author)

The Iroquois have gone by many names throughout their history--from the Haudenosaunee to the Five Nations, Six Nations, Iroquois League, and Iroquois Confederacy. No matter their name, though, they were united by a shared language (Iroquoian) and a shared political structure (a confederation). How did this confederacy of Indigenous nations first form, and how was it shaped by its geography, its language, and its relationship with European colonizers? Readers find the answers in this comprehensive research resource that highlights major developments in the history and cultural identity of the Haudenosaunee people.
