Most Seneca and Tuscarora Indians today live in New York State-the
Senecas from time immemorial and the Tuscaroras since the late
1700s, when they moved north from North Carolina, forced out by
whites. These two tribes are the westernmost members of the Six
Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy. Haas's annotated bibliography
on both tribes includes citations to journal articles, books,
theses, and government documents published up to 1992. She covers
archeology, arts, and crafts, biographies, captivity tales,
children's books, fiction and poetry, folklore and legends, food
and agriculture, games, legislation, history, government, health
practices, land problems, linguistics and publications in the
Seneca or Tuscarora language, missions, and missionaries (with a
chapter by Christopher Densmore on Quaker publications on the
Seneca from 1791 through 1899), music, dance, physical anthropology
and genetics, religion, social customs, treaties, wars, women,
periodicals, and state and federal government documents. The book
will be useful to students of Native American studies,
anthropology, archeology, folklore, or religion; historians of
Indian America or of New York and the neighboring states and
Canadian provinces; tribal members investigating their history;
lawyers working on Indian legal problems; collectors of Indian
language imprints; librarians needing a buying guide; and teachers
or parents looking for suitable books for children. The
bibliography's full annotations make it possible for researchers to
zero in on material on their subject of interest.
