| Title | Legends, Traditions, and Laws of the Iroquois, or Six Nations, and History of the Tuscarora Indians |
| Summary | "Legends, Traditions, and Laws of the Iroquois, or Six Nations, and History of the Tuscarora Indians" by Elias Johnson is a historical account likely written in the late 19th century. This work presents a comprehensive exploration of the Iroquois and Tuscarora peoples, delving into their culture, governance, and spiritual beliefs, while also addressing the misunderstandings and prejudices perpetuated by historical narratives about Native Americans. At the start of the text, Elias Johnson introduces the purpose behind his writing, which seeks to foster genuine understanding and appreciation for the Iroquois and Tuscarora cultures among non-Indigenous readers. He reflects on the prejudices faced by Indigenous peoples and critiques the historical portrayals that have often misrepresented their character. Johnson emphasizes his motivation for writing this book comes from a desire to correct misconceptions about the Indigenous way of life, showcasing the rich traditions, societal structures, and historical narratives that define these communities. The opening lays a foundation for the reader to challenge their preconceived notions and encourages an exploration of the vibrant history and enduring legacy of the Iroquois and Tuscarora peoples.
