Description
When the Pilgrims arrived on the North American shores, the region that is now New England and Northeastern Canada was alive with native peoples. This book presents a look at their story -- how the members of the Six Nations reacted to the white man's arrival, their resistance to and assimilation into the culture of the Europeans, and the on-going struggle to preserve their own beliefs and lands, despite intervention from the government of the new nation.
