 | | Iroquoian notions of personal liberty also drew exclamations from Colden, who wrote: The Five Nations have such absolute Notions of Liberty that they allow of no Kind of Superiority of one over another, and banish all Servitude from their Territories. | | | In fact, the Mohawks at the time appreciated Johnson's contributions because their population had been depleted by war, and since theirs was a matrilineal society, every child he bore became a Mohawk. | | | There is evidence that the Iroquoian form of government was imitated by other Indian nations. |

| | West Virginia Mingo is a member of the Iroquoian family of languages. | | | Indeed, it was not long ago that you could find many people who could speak 3, 4 or more of these languages with great fluency, due, in large part, to how similar they are to one another. | | | This is still an open question, and one on which research continues to this day. |

| | Incorporation can be used to background information that is not particularly newsworthy. | | | Languages of the Iroquoian family differ in some fundamental ways from those of Europe. | | | In Iroquoian languages, as in English, verbs are used to describe actions or states: ratákhe', "he's running"; iostáthen, "it is dry"; sahonwatihné:kanonte', "she gave them another drink." Because all verbs contain pronominal prefixes (ra-, "he"; io-, "it"; honwati-, "she/them"), they may stand alone as full sentences in their own right. |

| | Recent archaeological evidence has come out in favor of migration view, linking arrival of Iroquoians in NE with development of multi-family (longhouse) dwellings and with maize agriculture (previously absent this far north); these innovations, perhaps coupled w/ tribal political and military organization, allowed Iroquoians to displace Algonkians in regions with rich loamy soils. | | | For over 50 years, archaeologists have debated question of Iroquoian origins. | | | Will argue here that this is no coincidence--these features systematically interrelated. |
