Excerpt from The League of the Iroquois: A Paper Read at a Stated Meeting of the New York Society of the Order of the Founders and Patriots of America, Held at the Hotel Manhattan, February 16, A. D., 1914 North America, than for their genius for national organiza tion and government. Since tradition is the only history known to the red man, the origin, or first home, of the constituent nations of the Iroquois League is not easily determined. It is claimed that centuries ago the ancestors of the Iroquoian family of nations wandered eastward from the Columbia River Valley and Puget Sound, finding a home at length in the Mississippi Val ley, where they learned to build permanent villages and till the soil. On these fertile plains they remained together for long time; but at length the Cherokees separated from the main body, and made a home for themselves in the southern region including eastern Tennessee, northern Georgia and western North Carolina. Some time afterward the Oneidas, Onondagas and Mohawks, in association with the Hurons, moved eastward through the country north of Lakes Erie and Ontario, while the Cayugas and Senecas, with their near kin dred, the Eries, established themselves in the country lying south of these lakes. Later the Oneidas seem to have settled in central New York, perhaps preceded by the Onondagas; but the Mohawks and Hurons still journeyed east, till they reached and took possession of the St. Lawrence Valley, where for long time these two tribal nations lived together in peace, followed fishing, hunting and farming, and both pros pered and increased. Quebec was for a time the chief Mohawk town; and it was probably these people that Jacques Cartier found here in 1535. The chief Huron town was Hochelaga on the island of Montreal. Although Hurons and Mohawks up to this time seem to have been good friends and neighbors, as well as kinsmen, finally there came jealousy and war between them; and the Mohawks drove the Hurons out of Hochelaga, and made it their own capital city. Apparently they held'the whole country at one time from the mouth of the St. Lawrence River to the head-waters of the Mohawk River.
