About BC Books Online
BC Books Online was created for anyone interested in BC-published books, and with librarians especially in mind. We'd like to make it easy for library staff to learn about books from BC publishers - both new releases and backlist titles - so you can inform your patrons and keep your collections up to date.
Our site features print books and ebooks - both new releases and backlist titles - all of which are available to order through regular trade channels. Browse our subject categories to find books of interest or create and export lists by category to cross-reference with your library's current collection.
A quick tip: When reviewing the "Browse by Category" listings, please note that these are based on standardized BISAC Subject Codes supplied by the books' publishers. You will find additional selections, grouped by theme or region, in our "BC Reading Lists."
Description
The Iroquoian people -- Huron, Iroquois and many others -- lived throughout the Great Lakes basin and the St. Lawrence river valley. Their lands were rich in game, criss-crossed by waterways and well suited for agriculture. These abundant resources made possible a sophisticated culture, characterized by complex laws and constitutions, alliances, sports and games, and a form of currency.
This book describes in fascinating detail every aspect of the Iroquoian way of life -- farming, hunting, trading, beliefs, clothing, housing, clans and villages, political structure, warfare -- as well as the impact of contact with Europeans.
