They call themselves the Haudenosaunee, which means "people of the longhouse." They are known for their longhouses, which housed the members of a particular clan, or group of families. Each book in this subset covers the history of the people and their traditional daily life. The books also explore the traditional cultural life of each group, including spiritual beliefs, customs, arts and crafts, and style of dress. Each book discusses how the group was affected by the arrival of Europeans, how the people live today, and how they preserve their culture. |
