Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Some 200 entries cover the history, culture, and present-day concerns of the six nations (Senecas, Cayugas, Onondagas, Oneidas, Mohawks, and Tuscaroras) of the League of the Haudenosaunee, whose homelands stretched across much of northeastern North America and who played a key role in French and British struggles for supremacy.
