利用考古学，历史证据，口头传统和语言学，这本书提供了一个动态的看法易洛魁人的生活从史前时期和奥瓦斯科网站通过五个国家。威廉·恩格尔布雷希特（William Engelbrecht）在一本书中跨越了易洛魁文化从古代根源到现代世界的生存，他认为两个主题贯穿着这一发展：战争和灵性。对口头传统、考古学和历史记录的调查为这个现在基本上已经消失的被称为易洛魁的世界提供了新的见解。Engelbrecht涵盖广泛的地理范围，探索物质文化和生存模式的区域和时间差异。他发现随着时间的推移，社区的分布和规模以及对环境，人口和社会因素的反应发生了变化。此外，他进一步引发了一场有争议的辩论，即“箭祭”和其他信仰是随着玉米和园艺的传播而从中美洲传播开来的。虽然学者们认为，栅栏山顶易洛魁人的村庄建造的眼睛防御，这本书是独一无二的，表明长屋-主要是作为一个社区论坛和精神的地方-也可能作为一个防御结构。在这部将成为学者们参考的新标准文本的作品中，恩格尔布雷希特提醒我们，对易洛魁人的研究继续丰富和告知现代世界。
Drawing on archaeology, historical evidence, oral traditions, and linguistics, this book provides a dynamic view of Iroquois life from the prehistoric period and Owasco sites through the Five Nations. In a book that spans the Iroquoian culture from its ancient roots to its survival in the modern world, William Engelbrecht maintains that two themes pervade this development: warfare and spirituality. An investigation of oral tradition, archaeology, and historical records provides new insight into this now largely vanished world known as Iroquoia. Engelbrecht covers a wide geographic range, exploring regional and temporal differences in material culture and subsistence patterns. He finds change over time in the distribution and size of communities and in response to environmental, demographic, and social factors. In addition, he furthers the controversial debate that "arrow sacrifice" and other beliefs spread from Mesoamerica with the dispersal of maize and horticulture. Although scholars have suggested that palisaded hilltop Iroquoian villages were constructed with an eye for defense, this book is unique in showing that the longhouse - known mainly as a community forum and spiritual place - may also have served as a defense structure. Throughout this work, which will become the new standard text to which scholars will refer, Engelbrecht reminds us that the study of the Iroquoian people continues to enrich and inform the modern world.
