Editorial Reviews
Review
“The debate concerning whether the Haudenosaunce (Iroquois) and other Native American confederacies helpd shape ideas of democracy in the early US has taken place in both the academic and popular press. This volume of annotated references traces that debate in both arenas, 1900-1995.... a timely issue that is currently part of the larger debate concerning how history is written. Recommended for all libraries with interests in American history studies, Native Americans, communication, or journalism.”–Choice
Book Description
For more than a decade scholars have debated the question of whether American Indian confederacies, primarily the Iroquois, helped influence the formation of U.S. basic law. The idea has sparked lively debate in the public arena as well, with Canadian diplomat Durling Voyce-Jones contending it shows a paradigm shift in our thinking, Patrick Buchanan calling it "idiocy," and George Will saying it's "fiction." For the first time, this bibliography brings together some 450 citations on the debate. The work describes the debate in the words of one of its major participants, Bruce E. Johansen, author of three other books on the subject.
