Englebrecht (emeritus anthropology, Buffalo State U.) traces the development of the five nations of the New York Iroquois over the past millennium, drawing on archaeology, oral tradition, historic documents, linguistics, and other sources of information. He looks at the ancient roots, farming and fighting, spirituality and the individual, the household, the village, the Iroquois nations of the 17th century and the League of the Haudenosaunee they formed, contact with Europeans, and the present. This is a paperbound reprint of a 1993 work. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

paperback. Etat : Good. Moderate shelf wear, wear to edges, binding tight, pages have a few turned corners, clean and unmarked. In a book that spans the Iroquoian culture from its ancient roots to its survival in the modern world, William Engelbrecht maintains that two themes pervade this development: warfare and spirituality. An investigation of oral tradition, archaeology, and historical records provides new insight into this now largely vanished world known as Iroquoia. Engelbrecht covers a wide geographic range, exploring regional and temporal differences in material culture and subsistence patterns. He finds change over time in the distribution and size of communities and in response to environmental demographic, and social factors. In addition, he furthers the controversial debate that "arrow sacrifice" and other beliefs spread from Mesoamerica with the dispersal of maize and horticulture. Although scholars have suggested that palisaded hilltop Iroquoian villages were constructed with an eye for defense, this book is unique in showing that the longhouse?known mainly as a community forum and spiritual place?may also have served as a defense structure. Throughout this work, which will become the new standard text to which scholars will refer, Engelbrecht reminds us that the the study of the Iroquoian people continues to enrich and inform the modern world.
