Info

This represents the approximate configuration of the tribes in 1648. Although the areas are large, the populations were low and large parts of the territories where uninhabited, and instead used as hunting grounds. The tribes were also semi nomadic, and the period was rife with war and several of the tribes on the map were destroyed in the 1650s. The map was made using information in several books incluing:

  • Jennings, Francis (1984) The Ambiguous Iroquois Empire ISBN: 0393017192.
  • Wallace, Paula W (2007) Indians in Pennsylvania, DIANE Publishing Inc ISBN: 1422314936.
