This groundbreaking work records Iroquois history from a Native American perspective, blending creation myths with historical accounts across three parts. Beginning with a cosmic origin story of twin brothers—one good, one evil—battling over creation itself, the narrative journeys through millennia of giant warriors, serpents, and tribal conflicts. Cusick chronicles how separate tribes were guided to form the confederacy of the Long House, preserving oral traditions in an age when such knowledge faced extinction.
