(Cadwallader) The History of the Five Indian Nations of Canada Which are dependent on the Province of New-York, and are a barrier between the English and the French in that part of the world Produced by Iona Vaughan, Ross Cooling, mcbax and the Online Distributed Proofreading Canada Team at http://www.pgdpcanada.net "The History of the Five Indian Nations of Canada" by Cadwallader Colden is a historical account written in the mid-18th century. The book delves into the complex interactions between the Five Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy, their relations with European settlers, and the political dynamics of the time. It likely explores the nations’ customs, governance, military strategies, and economic relationships, particularly as they acted as a barrier between English and French interests in North America. The opening of the book sets the stage for an examination of the Five Nations, detailing their governmental structures, social customs, and their wars against neighboring tribes and European powers. Colden emphasizes the importance of understanding these Indigenous nations, arguing that their remarkable qualities have been overlooked due to colonial biases. He introduces the concept of the Five Nations as a coalition of separate yet allied tribes—namely, the Mohawks, Oneydoes, Onondagas, Cayugas, and Senekas—discussing their honor, bravery, and the stark realities of their encounters with both European settlers and fellow tribes. The early sections also hint at themes of revenge, diplomacy, and the transformative effects of inter-tribal and European interactions in shaping the sociopolitical landscape of the time.
