Description:Excerpt from the book...At the outset of the sixteenth century, when the five tribes or"nations" of the Iroquois confederacy first became known to Europeanexplorers, they were found occupying the valleys and uplands of northernNew York, in that picturesque and fruitful region which stretcheswestward from the head-waters of the Hudson to the Genesee. The Mohawks,or Caniengas--as they should properly be called--possessed the MohawkRiver, and covered Lake George and Lake Champlain with their flotillasof large canoes, managed with the boldness and skill which, hereditaryin their descendants, make them still the best boatmen of the NorthAmerican rivers. West of the Caniengas the Oneidas held the small riverand lake which bear their name, the first in that series of beautifullakes, united by interlacing streams, which seemed to prefigure in thefeatures of nature the political constitution of the tribes whopossessed them. West of the Oneidas, the imperious Onondagas, thecentral and, in some respects, the ruling nation of the League,possessed the two lakes of Onondaga and Skeneateles, together with thecommon outlet of this inland lake system, the Oswego River, to its issueinto Lake Ontario. Still proceeding westward, the lines of trail andriver led to the long and winding stretch of Lake Cayuga, about whichwere clustered the towns of the people who gave their name to the lake;and beyond them, over the wide expanse of hills and dales surroundingLakes Seneca and Canandaigua, were scattered the populous villages ofthe Senecas, more correctly styled Sonontowanas or Mountaineers. Suchwere the names and abodes of the allied nations, members of thefar-famed Kanonsionni, or League of United Households, who were destinedto become for a time the most notable and powerful community among thenative tribes of North America.
