The Canadian Iroquois and the Seven Years' War

The participation of the Iroquois of Akwasasne, Kanesetake (Oka), Kahnawake, and Oswegatchie in the Seven Years' War is a long-neglected topic. The consequences of this struggle still shape Canadian history. The book looks at the social and economic impact of the war on both men and women in Canadian Iroquois communities. The Canadian Iroquois and the Seven Years' War provides an enhanced appreciation both of the role of Amerindians in the war itself and of their difficult struggle to lead their lives within the unstable geopolitical environment created by European invasion and settlement.
