The book discusses the traditional ceremonial practices of the Iroquois Confederacy, along with its history and sociopolitical structures, providing valuable insight into the customs and beliefs of this Native American group. At the start of the text, Hale outlines the significance of the Iroquois Book of Rites, stating its importance in revealing the historical and ethnological background of the Iroquois people. The introductory chapters detail the geographic locations of the Iroquois nations in northeastern North America and the origins of their societal structures. It mentions the early historical encounters observed by European explorers and the political alliances, particularly the formation of a confederation aimed at ensuring peace and cooperation among the tribes. This foundational setup will be elaborated upon in succeeding chapters, possibly tracing the narratives of leaders like Hiawatha and the ceremonies involved in their governance and social organization.
