Project Gutenberg 2004-09-01 Public domain in the USA. 120 Mackenzie, J. B. 1851 1919 Mackenzie, James Bovell A Treatise on the Six-Nation Indians Produced by Sean Barrett, Charles Franks and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "A Treatise on the Six-Nation Indians" by J. B. Mackenzie is a historical account that delves into the lives, customs, and experiences of the Six Nations tribes, including the Mohawks, Oneidas, Onondagas, Cayugas, Senecas, and Tuscaroras. Written during the late 19th century, this work aims to shed light on the contemporary history of the Indigenous peoples of North America, particularly in relation to their interactions with the Canadian government and the encroachment of European settlers on their traditional lands. The book explores various aspects of Indian life, including governance, social structures, culture, and the challenges they face within a rapidly changing socio-political landscape. In this treatise, Mackenzie presents a detailed and nuanced portrayal of the Six Nations, focusing on their unique customs, governance through councils, and the impact of colonization. He discusses the role of chiefs and their duties, as well as the conditions of their settlements and legal standings. Moreover, the author examines the plight of the Indians under various laws, particularly their status as minors in the eyes of Canadian law, which hinders their ability to engage fully in society. By intertwining personal observation with historical context, Mackenzie's work serves not only as a significant account of Indigenous life during his time but also as a crucial commentary on the broader implications of colonialism on the cultures and rights of Native peoples.
