About This Book

The study examines competing accounts of Iroquoian origins and migrations, weighing early French reports and native traditions against archaeological findings. It analyzes descriptions of a fortified settlement on the island near Mount Royal, linguistic differences among Iroquoian dialects, and arguments that eastern Hochelagan communities may have become later Mohawk groups. By comparing artifact distributions, settlement patterns, and historic chronicles, the author reconstructs possible migration routes and the gradual formation of the Five Nations league, while noting uncertainties and differing scholarly interpretations.
