Legends, Traditions, and Laws of the Iroquois

This is a Boundary Bay Classics edition of the classic novel Legends, Traditions, and Laws of the Iroquois by Elias Johnson. Written by a Tuscarora chief and historian, the book gathers origin legends, customs, government, and oral traditions of the Haudenosaunee (Six Nations) Confederacy, alongside an account of the Tuscarora nation's migration from North Carolina and its adoption into the confederacy. First published in 1881, it remains a significant early written record of Haudenosaunee history and governance by an Indigenous author.
