Welcome to the world of the St.Lawrence Iroquoians, Corn People.
The St.Lawrence Iroquoians: Corn People |
| When 16th-century explorer Jacques Cartier sailed up the St. Lawrence River, he met many Iroquoains. He even visited two of their villages. And yet when Samuel de Champlain arrived in 1603, the shores of the mighty river were silent...What had become of the first people to tie their survival to growing corn in such northerly climes? What do we know about the day-to-day existence of these men and women who lived where our cities, towns and villages - and corn fields - stand today? |
| This publication draws on archaeology, history and surviving Native
knowledge, inviting us into these farming villages and their cosy longhouses to
discover a little-know but fascinating culture, one whose actions and words are
revealed today centuries after they disappeared. Welcome to the world of the St.Lawrence Iroquoians, Corn People. |
