Synonymy of Eastern Woodland Tribal Names

Originally published in Iroquois Wars II (a similar, though abridged version appears in Iroquois Wars I), this synonymy is useful for placing historical tribal names for otherwise well-known eastern woodland tribes such as the Five Nations of the Iroquois (Mohawks, Oneidas, Cayugas, Onondagas, and Senecas), Mahicans, Abenakis, Micmacs, Ottawas, and numerous others. The names of obscure or extinct tribes are also included. Please note that the tribal names listed here are those which appear with frequency in the Jesuit Relations or other 17th century French sources. Thus, familar tribes like the Seminoles, Powhatan, Cherokee, etc. are not included. Also, identities of many of these poorly-known tribes are still a matter of scholarly debate. The citations included refer to the Thwaites edition of the Jesuit Relations, 1896-1901.
