The Iroquois people were never "conquered" by either the English or later the American people. They agreed to be allies to their new neighbours and made room for them in their lands. The most recent agreements are in southern Ontario. They were given 6 miles on each side of the Grand River, and each of the tributaries, by General Haldimand, on behalf of the English government because of the Iroquois support of England during the American Revolution.
Land claims subsequent are many, and clouded with time. The Iroquois' history is recorded by their elders, and passed down to the next generation by word.
I have more faith in the elders of the Iroquois, to be honest, than I do of the records of the province. There were many dubious transactions.
Money aside the, claims of the Iroquois, should be heard. It is a shame that confrontation must be the last method available to the Mohawks of the Iroquois nation.
These are my thoughts
