Synonymy of Eastern Woodland Tribal
Names
Originally published in Iroquois Wars
II (a similar, though abridged version appears in Iroquois Wars I), this synonymy
is useful for placing historical tribal names for otherwise well-known
eastern woodland tribes such as the Five Nations of the Iroquois
(Mohawks, Oneidas, Cayugas, Onondagas, and Senecas), Mahicans,
Abenakis, Micmacs, Ottawas, and numerous others. The names of obscure
or extinct tribes are also included. Please note that the tribal names
listed here are those which appear with frequency in the Jesuit
Relations or other 17th century French sources. Thus, familar
tribes like the Seminoles, Powhatan, Cherokee, etc. are not included.
Also, identities of many of these poorly-known tribes are still a
matter of scholarly debate. The citations included refer to the
Thwaites edition of the Jesuit Relations, 1896-1901.
