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. |
