Iroquoia: The Development of a Native World

Englebrecht (emeritus anthropology, Buffalo State U.) traces the development of the five nations of the New York Iroquois over the past millennium, drawing on archaeology, oral tradition, historic documents, linguistics, and other sources of information. He looks at the ancient roots, farming and fighting, spirituality and the individual, the household, the village, the Iroquois nations of the 17th century and the League of the Haudenosaunee they formed, contact with Europeans, and the present. This is a paperbound reprint of a 1993 work. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
