Thanks yesdachi. Great and very informative article.I never knew that Notheastern Indians could even have cannons and bastions to defend their towns.All in all i find these people very intresting,they are so controversial.Stone age people who lived in anarcho-democratic society where no one could be forced to do anything.Where women controlled the property of the family and choosed the chiefs among men.Also the style of warfare is very different from plains Indian nations brave but sportlike "coup" warfare.Iroquois warfare was morelike total war where the aim was the wiping out the enemy nation or force them to move out from their lands.Also these people were cannibals and showed almost unhuman cruelty to captured enemies by torturing them or burning them in the stake.The thing that is the most unbelievable to me is while tortured and killed some of their prisoners,they could also adopt them into their tribe and give him or her the name of some dead relative and the person could adapt the role of beiing one of the people that could have killed his or hers original relatives.peculiar people.
