The Natural and Built Environment of the Haudenosaunee Homeland
View through CrossRef
This chapter details the first recorded Dutch visit to eastern Haudenosaunee villages. It combines the written record of Harmen Meyndertsz van den Bogaert with archaeological evidence, Indigenous maps, and Haudenosaunee traditional knowledge to provide an overview of Haudenosaunee homelands. The chapter then explores the connection of The People of the Longhouse to their land and examines how men and women lived within and altered their surrounding environment for subsistence survival. The People of the Longhouse practiced mixed subsistence strategies that varied with the seasons and organized their communities around extensive longhouses filled with matrilineal kin. As the chapter demonstrates, both cultural features underscored the critical role of Haudenosaunee women to the structure and survival of the community. The People of the Longhouse embraced their long-standing social and cultural practices of flexibility and consensus to confront the challenges of sustained European contact.
