In ""Seven Generations of Iroquois Leadership"", Laurence M.
Hauptman traces the past 200 years of the Six Nations' history
through the lens of the remarkable leaders who shaped it. Focusing
on the distinct qualities of Iroquois leadership, Hauptman reveals
how the Six Nations have survived in the face of overwhelming
pressure. Employing a biographical approach and extensive research,
the author explores how leaders use the past to enable cultural,
economic, and political survival.Celebrated figures such as
Governor Blacksnake, Cornelius Cusick, and Deskaheh are juxtaposed
with less well-known but nonetheless influential champions of
Haudenosaunee culture and sovereignty such as Dinah John.
Hauptman's survey includes many female leaders including 35
contemporary women, highlighting the important role women have
played in Iroquois survival throughout history to the present
day.Including leaders from all six Iroquois nations and all regions
of modern-day Iroquoia, the book offers both historical and
contemporary portraits. Hauptman's lucid prose and unrivaled
authority make this an accessible and indispensable volume.
