When the Pilgrims arrived on the North American shores, the region which is now New England and Northeastern Canada was alive with natives. 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 with 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.
