A comprehensive reference work on the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois Confederacy), containing over 200 entries covering Haudenosaunee history, present-day issues, and contributions to general North American culture. "Haudenosaunee" (People of the Longhouse) is the name the Iroquois use for their confederacy ("Iroquois" is the name given them by the French). This encyclopedia surveys the histories of the six constituent nations of the confederacy (Seneca, Cayuga, Onondaga, Oneida, Mohawk, and Tuscarora, adopted about 1725). Several entries also trace ways in which the practices of the Iroquois have filtered into general North American society.

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.
