The Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) and Associated First Peoples

This activity proposes a way to research events and locations in Kanien'ké:ha territory but also includes a chance to discover other individual Haudenosaunee (and non-Haudenosaunee) groups and their roles throughout the area's history.  It asks students to work from a small reference on a very large timeline-styled poster by Ray Fadden, to choose a group or location, and to research it further.  Many of the references in this image will challenge students and force them to find and question sources, examine written and oral histories, and possibly even contact present-day members of these nations to discover more information.
