"An authoritative illustrated study of the People of the
Longhouse. "
In this handsome book, Michael G. Johnson, the author of the
award-winning Encyclopedia of Native American Tribes and its
companion, Arts and Crafts of the North American Tribes, looks at
the people of the Iroquois Confederacy. The tribes were the Mohawk,
Oneida, Cayuga, Onondaga, Seneca, and -- admitted into the Iroquois
as a sixth nation by 1722 -- the Tuscarora.
"Iroquois: People of the Longhouse" details their story up to
the present day, when perhaps 50,000 people of Iroquois descent
still live on, or near, their reserves in Canada and the U.S., with
that many again living in cities.
Rich with archival, contemporary and modern photographs, maps
and illustrations, "Iroquois: People of the Longhouse" contains
certainty:
The Origins of the Iroquois Confederacy The Six Nations and
Incorporated Tribes History 1500-1750 The French and Indian War
