*Taken from the back of the dust jacket:
The participation of the Iroquois of Akwesasne, 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.
It deals with each individual campaign as Amerindians and Frenchmen conducted "parallel warfare", each group holding to its particular military practices and aspirations. Since goals frequently conflicted, the war was as notable for cultural conflict with the French as for military engagements with the British.
MacLeod shows how the Canadian Iroquois demonstrated their independence from external control by turning from war to diplomacy negotiating first neutrality, then alliance with the British. The British proved difficult allies, however, and the first "Oka Crisis" occurred when they deployed troops and issued weapons to French inhabitants for use against the Iroquois. This was followed by the razing of the Iroquois town of Oswegatchie, a series of violent attacks by British soldiers and interference in the Iroquois fur trade with Albany.
The Canadian Iroquois 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.
