Tribes of the Iroquois ConfederationMichael Johnson, Jonathan SmithThe Five (later, Six) Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy were central to the story of the white colonization of the American Northeast. The European fur trade in North America transformed the Iroquois world, and the tribes were soon forced to take sides in the struggles between English and French colonists. Thanks to the efforts of the remarkable Sir William Johnson in the Mohawk Valley, the Iroquois Nations were for the most part allies of the British crown; and Johnson’s loyal kinsman Joseph Brant (Thayendanegea) forced the Mohawks into Canadian exile during the American Revolution. This fascinating introduction to Iroquois history, social organization, religion and material culture is illustrated with rare photographs and eight dazzling color plates.
