AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This article contains a discussion of the concept of land ownership among the Iroquois and neighboring tribes. The article deals with the Native American philosophy of the land, land ownership among the various segments of Iroquois society, changes in philosophy brought about through Native-White contact, and the reaction of the Iroquois to conquest. Much of the material for this article was obtained from Seneca informants at the community of Coldspring, Allegany Reservation, New York.
