Review: "Drawing on archaeology, historical evidence, oral traditions, and linguistics, this book provides a dynamic view of Iroquois life from its ancient roots to its survival in the modern world. William Engelbrecht maintains that two themes pervade Iroquois development: warfare and spirituality. His investigation - the most comprehensive to date - provides new insight into the now largely vanished world known as Iroquoia."--BOOK JACKET.
