Abstract
This study is concerned with how Iroquois culture is maintained at the Six Nations Reserve in Ontario, Canada, despite intense acculturative pressure. Iroquois conservatism is the central theme of this study, and Shimony focuses on the traditional Longhouse community and presents a comprehensive description of the structure of the society and the content of the culture, with particular emphasis on social and political organization, medicine, and curing rites.
