Legends, traditions, and governance of the Haudenosaunee

Elias Johnson’s account brings together three strands of Haudenosaunee history and culture: origin legends and oral histories, enduring traditions, and the laws associated with the Iroquois Confederacy. It names the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, Seneca, and Tuscarora peoples, and places their history in territories spanning present-day New York, New England, and southern Canada. Governance, spiritual beliefs, diplomacy, and the Confederacy’s political role provide further context for understanding the peoples and institutions covered. The book’s scope connects cultural traditions with the structures through which the Six Nations and Tuscarora are presented.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Those seeking an introduction to Haudenosaunee history and cultural traditions.
  • Readers interested in Indigenous oral histories, governance, and diplomacy.
  • Readers exploring the history of the Iroquois Confederacy and Tuscarora people.
