The “onkwehonwe” (real people), or Iroquois as they are more often referred to, are an interesting and diverse people. The historical record first reflects their existence as a group in the 1600’s. After near extinction in the 1800’s they, reemerged and are today prolific and prosperous in both the U.S. and Canada. The author, Dean R. Snow, is professor and head of the anthropology department at Penn State. Snow uses his training and experience to delve deeply into Iroquois culture and history. Using historical documents, oral tradition and archaeological data, Snow offers a well-rounded view of the Iroquois people past and present. Fully indexed and footnoted, it provides numerous black and white photos, maps and reproductions of historic prints and art. The Iroquois takes its place in the literature as the most definitive source on the Iroquois. Anita Cheek Moon, Member Reviewers’ Consortium
