Now, two centuries later, the issues of native self-government and a renewed pride in native traditions are creating new interest in the code, available in English only in this edition. Book jacket.

Ohkwa'ri believes in the path of peace, but can peaceful ways work against Grabber's wrath?

Book Description
Richter examines a wide range of primary documents to survey the responses of the peoples of the Iroquois League--the Mohawks, Oneidas, Onondagas, Cayugas, Senecas, and Tuscaroras--to the challenges of the European colonialization of North America. He demonstrates that by the early eighteenth century a series of creative adaptations in politics and diplomacy allowed the peoples of the Longhouse to preserve their cultural autonomy in a land now dominated by foreign powers.
