Iroquois
Longhouse
The text emphasizes the design, and the architecture
and construction, of the Iroquois longhouse as it appeared 400 years ago,
and before European influence drastically changed the Iroquois culture.
The intention is to present Iroquois technology as it was before the influx
of Europeans. The design of the longhouse reflects the social organization
within Iroquois culture. Its architecture and construction are adapted
to the raw materials available to the Iroquois in their immediate surroundings,
and to the tools and technology in their possession.

Language Home Page
The Iroquois are in the throes of reinventing themselves
yet again, a tradition that is itself seven times seven generations old.
For the most part, these are wise and principled people, who understand
that nothing is ever settled once and for all, and who have learned to
live comfortably with uncertainty that understanding entails. Despite
everything that has occurred through their long past and the uncertainty
of the future, the Iroqouis prepare the way for the seventh generation
still to come.
