Iroquois in the West
handbook of north american indians. northeast • 15 • Published In 1978 • Pages: 544-546 [dc]
By: Frisch, Jack A..
Abstract
The westward movement of small bands of Iroquois during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, is the primary focus of this study. Frisch discusses the motivation for these movements, and contact between the Iroquois and other western tribes during their journeys. In the twentieth century the migrant Iroquois bands have been largely assimilated into other western tribal groups, although their Iroquois heritage has been preserved through personal family histories (p. 546).
