Iroquoia
The Development of a Native World
William Engelbrecht
"A very accessible and plainspoken account of the Iroquois and their homeland. . . . The book's strength lies in its use of ethnohistory. . . . Engelbrecht's descriptions of the Iroquois economy, practiced in the throes of what to all appearances was unending strife and warfare, are some of the best available. So too are his depictions of villages and village life, which are based not only on his own field work, but also information gleaned from the most recent, authoritative literature."

The Montaukett Indians of Eastern Long Island
John A. Strong
"Reading John Strong's narrative, The Montauketts of Eastern Long Island, one is left with a sense of déjà vu. While not as well known to the general public as the Pequots, Potawatomies or the Narragansetts, the Montauketts experienced the same ill-treatment at the hands of white people. . . . Strong's history gives one a solid feel for the fate of the Montauketts. Another piece of American Indian history has been brought vividly to life."

In Mohawk Country
Early Narratives of a Native People
Edited by Dean R. Snow, Charles T. Gehring, and William A. Starna
"This impressive collection comprises first-hand accounts of European visitors to the Mohawk Valley, from early Dutch contacts down to the early nineteenth century. The collection is especially valuable because it includes some works that have never before been published, some that appear here for the first time in English, and many that are out of print and difficult to obtain."

Haudenosaunee
Portraits of the Firekeepers, the Onondaga Nation
Toba Pato Tucker
"Knowing that she is an outsider whose work has won her rare access to places beyond the reservations' Keep Out signs, she is respectful. Does this person want to wear traditional or contemporary dress? How is the person comfortable posing? The results are portraits with an elegant spareness and realism. Tucker's efforts have earned her the regard of the people she photographs."
