The Iroquois (Peoples of America) First Edition


Traces the development of Iroquois culture from its beginnings a thousand years ago through its rise and peak, in the years from about 1000 to 1500, through its reduction to impotence in the 18th century, and through its contemporary revival in the United States and Canada. The history draws on many sources, including the Iroquois people themselves. Black-and-white illustrations, maps, and photos. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.

Lucidly written, exhaustively researched. Snow is an archaeologist, and his review of evolving interpretations is fascinating , but he has obviously spent time with the Tribes. His tone is human, and respectful.

Essential historical reading. The native peoples who advised Franklin et al on the constitution. When they asked the Iroquois what they thought, they said "It won't work because a) you've written the women out of the decision-making process, and b) you're going for majority vote instead of working through your decisions to consensus".

Yeah... someone should have been listening harder.
