Legends, Traditions,
and Laws of the Iroquois, or Six Nations and
History of the Tuscarora Indians
(New) To
those who know nothing concerning them, a whole
book about Indians will seem a very prosy
affair, to whom I can answer nothing, for they
will not proceed as far as my Preface to see
what reasons I can render for the seeming folly.
But to those who are willing to listen, I can say that
the Indians are a very interesting people, whether I have made
an interesting book about them or not.

Iroquoian, Timuquanan, and Siouan, together with
a small group of Uchean, east of the river.
Indian Heroes and Great Chieftains
Every age, every race, has its leaders and
heroes. There were over sixty distinct tribes of
Indians on this continent, each of which boasted
its notable men. The names and deeds of some of
these men will live in American history, yet in
the true sense they are unknown, because
misunderstood.

The Last Abenaqui Chief At Bellows Falls, Vermont,
During the period of years just
previous to the coming of the white settlers in 1753
to the vicinity of what was then known as the "Great
Falls," now Bellows Falls, in the Connecticut river,
large numbers of the tribe of Indians known as the "Abenaquis"
had come here from their northern homes in the
spring of each year because of the excellent fishing
below and in the falls. Their stay here was only
temporary, there being no history of permanent
Indian settlements in this immediate vicinity.
Indian Agency System, Indian
affairs are conducted under the administrative
bureau in Washington by local Indian agents. This
agency system was gradually developed to meet the
various exigencies arising from the rapid
displacement of Indian tribes by white settlers.
