Description
This study contains a detailed summary of the history and changing culture of the Mahican, who originally inhabited the Hudson Valley in New York State. Since the history of the Mahican is closely interrelated with that of the neighbouring Iroquois Conference, it also contributes to a more balance view of Iroquois history.
