The Ordeal of the Longhouse : The Peoples of the Iroquois League in the Era of European Colonization Paperback / softback
by Daniel K. Richter
Part of the Published for the Omohundro Institute of Early American History and Culture, Williamsburg, Virginia series
Paperback / softback
Description
Richter examines a wide range of primary documents to survey the responses of the peoples of the Iroquois League--the Mohawks, Oneidas, Onondagas, Cayugas, Senecas, and Tuscaroras--to the challenges of the European colonialization of North America.
He demonstrates that by the early eighteenth century a series of creative adaptations in politics and diplomacy allowed the peoples of the Longhouse to preserve their cultural autonomy in a land now dominated by foreign powers.
