The work explores the character and culture of the Iroquois people, aiming to dispel common prejudices and misrepresentations of Native Americans prevalent in literature and society at the time. The book emphasizes the Iroquois's familial ties, social customs, and governance, presenting them as a civilized people with rich traditions rather than the savage caricatures often depicted. The opening of the book establishes a dedication to notable figures who have supported the interests of Native Americans, signaling an earnest approach toward Indian history. The author acknowledges the prevailing ignorance and prejudice surrounding the Iroquois and sets out to correct these misconceptions with detailed analysis and personal reflections drawn from her experiences with Indian communities. She critiques past narratives that portray the Iroquois in a negative light and aims to highlight their virtues, social structures, and the injustice faced by them at the hands of colonizers. In doing so, she calls for a more nuanced appreciation of their character and way of life.
