Abstract
Document 48: White et al. is an historical summary of the Cayuga Iroquois from the seventeenth century to the late nineteenth (ca. 1890). The article descibes the traditional territory of the Cayuga, history of the relations with non-Iroquois groups (including French, English, and Americans), warfare, loss of native lands, and dispersal after the American Revolution. A useful synonymy of the Cayuga, and a brief bibliography, conclude the work.
