Abstract
During the reservation period of Iroquois history, the Council of the Confederacy was the only agency with powers broad enough to encompass all the tribes and overcome inter-tribal antagonisms. This study is an analysis of the manner in which law and government developed by precedent on the basis of cases presented to the Council for adjudication. In addition to the specific case material, there is scattered information on other aspects of Iroquois society as well as historical data on culture change.
