An Ancient History of the Six Nations is an early (if not the first) account of Native American history and myth, written and published in English by an Indian. It tells the history of the six peoples or nations, which are. Teakawrehhogeh or Mohawks, Newhawtehtahgo or Oneidas, Seuhnaukata or Onondagas, Shoneanawetowah or Cayugas, Tehooneanyohent or Senecas, and Kautanohakau or Tuscarora. Since the history is compiled from ancient myths, it has a legendary and folklore character. It is interesting that this history was used as evidence for the existence of Bigfoot and the Lake Champlain monster.

Iroquoian Women: The Gantowisas provides a thorough, organized look at the social, political, economic, and religious roles of women among the Iroquois, explaining their fit with the larger culture. Gantowisas means more than simply «woman» - gantowisas is «woman acting in her official capacity» as fire-keeping woman, faith-keeping woman, gift-giving woman; leader, counselor, judge; Mother of the People. This is the light in which the reader will find her in Iroquoian Women. Barbara Alice Mann draws upon worthy sources, be they early or modern, oral or written, to present a Native American point of view that insists upon accuracy, not only in raw reporting, but also in analysis. Iroquoian Women is the first book-length study to regard Iroquoian women as central and indispensable to Iroquoian studies.
