Coles Dutch Firearms and the Haudenosaunee: Cahiers Series of Het Scheepvaartmuseum at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
A fresh study of Dutch firearms, the Haudenosaunee and the material, economic and spiritual dimensions of early colonial exchange. Published in collaboration with Het Scheepvaartmuseum, Amsterdam.
In the 17th century, Dutch firearms reached the world of the Haudenosaunee: the confederacy of Iroquoian-speaking Indigenous peoples in the Great Lakes region of North America.
This book shows that these weapons were not only valued for practical or military purposes, but also found a place within a rich spiritual and cultural universe. Drawing on historical sources, archaeological finds and oral traditions, the authors explain how European objects were incorporated into existing ideas about nature, power and mythology. The publication sheds new light on the encounter between European traders and the Haudenosaunee, and examines the economic, material and spiritual meanings of firearms in early colonial North America. Offering a surprising and original perspective on cultural exchange, identity and the meaning of objects in a changing world, Dutch Firearms and the Haudenosaunee is the third publication in a series of cahiers from Het Scheepvaartmuseum in Amsterdam.
