Summary:

"In The Storied Landscape of Iroquoia, Chad L. Anderson offers a significant contribution to understanding colonialism, intercultural conflict, and intercultural interpretations of the Iroquoian landscape during the late 17th, 18th, and early 19th centuries in central and western New York, the traditional Haudenosaunee homeland. Throughout this period of European colonization, the Haudenosaunee remained the dominant power in their homelands and one of the most important diplomatic players in the struggle for the continent upon European settlement of North America by the Dutch, British, French, Spanish, and Russians"-- Provided by publisher.
