Abstract
The Seneca-Cayuga of northeastern Oklahoma are the descendants of Iroquois from several tribes who moved into Ohio during the eighteenth century, and of later Iroquois emigrants from Ontario and New York (p. 537). This study traces the culture history and migrational patterns of this Oklahoma group from the seventeenth through the twentieth centuries. Sturtevant also provides additional information on the subsistence economy, political and social organization, and religion of both the Seneca-Cayuga and the Seneca of Sandusky Ohio from whom many of the Oklahoma group originated. A synonymy and brief bibliography conclude this work.
