If You Lived With The Iroquois

Love this book! I homeschool my boys and I found a free lesson plan online that goes along with this book and it has great and useful information. It is easy to understand and it isn't a lot of unnecessary information. It gets to the point and is interesting. I even learned so much from this book! Highly recommend!

This book gives great insight into the Iroquois way of life. It's amazing that they had more women rights and better constitution than the colonists who were ultimately responsible for the Iroquois decline. We should learn our lesson from these native American civilizations

I really liked this book. I'm an adult, and even though I know this is a kid's book, I bought it to get a quick introduction to the Iroquois.This book has 80 pages with a lot of content on each page, and some good illustrations. It's about the Iroquois people before the European settlers came over, which includes the tribes of Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, and Seneca.If You Lived with the Iroquois has a question and answer format, that really brought me right in the middle of the culture of the Iroquois. Here are some of the questions:*Did everyone practice the same religion?*Would you eat meals with your family?*What kind of work would people do?I liked how the book paints the Iroquois as a very important people, a people that a lot of the US culture is based on. The book implies that the US got it's concepts of freedom of religion and having elected officials from the Iroquois. I also like how the Iroquois are described as a lot more clean than European settlers, since they bathed every day. I think it would be cool to travel back in time sometime, and biggest detriment of going back in time would be how everyone would smell because people of the past generally had bad hygiene. After reading this book, if I ever get a time machine, I'm going back to see the nice-smelling Iroquois.Pros:+Brightly colored pages and pictures+Interesting question and answer format+Lots of content for a short, small, illustrated book+I learned a lot of information in a short period of timeCons:-Might be too simplistic, but it is a kid's book

Nice story and history for the kids.

There is great information in this book that is easy to read, and understand by the young and the old.

Great book. Just what I ordered.

Excellent book for my third grade daughter to use as a research source for her Iroquois essay. Will keep in our home library.

This is a great book for middle school aged children. I used it to study the Iroquois in my social studies classes. It is very informative without overwhelming younger children with too much information. The book was fun to read, and held the interest of my students. Also, I made my own worksheets/tests by dividing the book into different sections. The students all enjoyed this unit on the Iroquois and learned a great deal about the Native Americans.

Love this
