AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This study describes briefly the dwellings, food, clothing, games, tools, utensils, sports, and musical instruments of the Iroquois, but places special emphasis on the ancient handicrafts and decorative arts. The preparation of the various materials used, the techniques, and the designs are described in detail, with plentiful illustrations. Changes due to the introduction of new tools and materials by White settlers are shown.
