The Ordeal of the Longhouse : The Peoples of the Iroquois League in the Era of European Colonization PDF
by Daniel K. Richter
Part of the Published by the Omohundro Institute of Early American History and Culture and the University of Nor series
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.
