AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This booklet consists of a summary of Iroquois technology and material culture. The text was conceived as a vehicle for numerous photographs of specimens from the ethnological collections of the Cranbrook Institute of Science. Speck takes an historical approach and relates the museum mateirals to the historical background of the Iroquoian and, more generally, the eastern woodland Native Americans.
