The Iroquois Resotration: Iroquois Diplomacy on the Colonial Frontier, 1701-1754  

Beginning in 1701 the Iroquois, at their nadir after twenty years of warring, sought to rebuild the Confederacy. By design or circumstance, they carried out sophisticated diplomatic relations with their Indian and white neighbors, gradually recouping much of their political, military, and economic power. The Iroquois helped shape the frontier, influencing westward expansion, the fur trade, and colonial warfare.

The False Faces of the Iroquois

In this thoroughly absorbing volume, Fenton has reviewed the voluminous literature, participated as an observer, and recorded his views with relish and understanding. He discusses mask collecting in general and masking in eastern North America, while not neglecting the parallels between Iroquois masking and the Carnival in Europe. Beautifully illustrated, this volume contains many black-and-white photographs and 24 false faces and husk faces in striking color. A treasure for those interested in Iroquoisana and the native American, the volume is certainly the definitive work on the subject. A testimonial to both the writer's and the publishers' art.  D.

Paul Wallace retells the orally transmitted epic of Deganawidah, the Peacemaker, the charismatic spiritual leader who, over 500 years ago, united warring tribes of the Northeast to form the Iroquois Confederacy. The Peacemaker's work is preserved in the Confederacy's traditional constitution, which influenced the framers of the American Bill of Rights and the U.S. Constitution. The Confederacy remains united under the Peacemaker's unbroken lineage, today represented by the Tadodaho (chief), the temporal and spiritual leader of the Six Nations.
