Abstract
According to Foley, much of the information that exists on the Iroquois is based on the early writings of the Jesuit Fathers and colonial chroniclers, and further supplemented by the ethnographies of Morgan, Beauchamp, Parker, Hewitt, Goldenweiser, Fenton, Speck, Shimony, Myers, and Weaver. Prominent social theorists such as Marx and Engles utilized portions of Morgan's research on the Iroquois to develop theories on the origin of the state and class structure. This dissertation '…attempts to synthesize and place the various primary sources and secondary works in historical perspective in order to delineate specific factors affecting the processes of change' (p. i) from the aboriginal precontact period to the mid-1970s.
