Originally published in 1964 by the Smithsonian Institution's
Bureau of American Ethnology, this book is a compilation of the
ethnographic data on the seventeenth-century Huron Indians
contained in The Je suit Relations and in the writings of Samuel de
Champlain and Gabriel Sagard. This study of the Hurons, who lived
in the present province of Ontario, Canada, spans the period from
1615 to 1649, when they were defeated and dispersed by the
Iroquois. Topics covered include dress, modes of travel, trade,
war, sociopolitical organization, subsistence activities, and
religious beliefs and practices. The book is invaluable for
indicating the cultural similarities and differences between the
Hurons and the neighboring Northern Iroquoian cultures and for
documenting evidence of cultural change. This first paperback
edition also includes a new introduction by the author, in which
she brings her work up to date by surveying developments in the
study of the Huron ethnography between 1964 and the present.
