The Covenant Chain, Legal Traditions, and the Problem of Law Office History
References to the Covenant Chain—a diplomatic confederation of English colonies and Native groups—are found throughout the historical record of eastern North America. Over the past three decades, however, Canadianist scholars have reinterpreted the Covenant Chain within a contemporary legal framework, allegedly aligned with Indigenous legal traditions and intended to have application in a judicial system where Indigenous rights and sovereignty ar…
Sir William Johnson’s Seal or Rufus Grider’s Imagination
In a collection of Rufus Grider’s drawings at the New York State Library is the tracing of a document attributed to Sir William Johnson, acquired from the Senecas of western New York in 1898. An undated version appears in the published Johnson papers. The tracing is of interest as it contains Grider’s reconstructed sketch of Johnson’s wax seal, the elements of which wend their way into present-day discussions of the “two row wampum” and the Coven…

Treatments of the 1768 Treaty of Fort Stanwix, which set the boundary between natives and colonies following the Proclamation of 1763, have, over time, added refinement to Ray A. Billington's article “The Fort Stanwix Treaty of 1768” (New York History, April 1944, pp. 182–94). Recent examples are found in Alan Taylor's The Divided Ground (2006) and David L. Preston's The Texture of Contact (2009). If there is more of significance to add about the…

Temporal Models in Prehistory
This paper deals with the topic of defining a sequence of time units for any specified archaeological area, that is, the topic of constructing temporal models in prehistory. Despite the fundamental necessity for temporal models in modern prehistoric archaeology, no generally agreed-upon, coherent set of principles is currently available to assist archaeologists in the task of temporal model formulation. Accordingly, after a brief historical revie…

Northern Iroquoian Slavery
This article argues that slavery was practiced by Northern Iroquoians in the context of what has been previously and exclusively described as an adoption complex.

The constituent elements of slavery, rituals of integration and incorpora- tion, and the conditions of slavery are also discussed …

Curren (1977) presents an interesting and provocative hypothesis regarding the 'potential' function of 'stone gorgets.' Nevertheless, there are some serious problems with his thesis that require comment.Initially, there is a danger in the rather simplistic association drawn between form and function. To claim a functional similarity because there is a morphological similarity between stone gorgets and contemporary ceramic tools called 'ribs' is a…

Deer Densities and Population Dynamics
In this paper we argue that although investigators often address themselves generally to human interaction with deer and the results of such interaction, they often fail to consider a number of related nonhuman factors that bear directly upon deer populations. Thus, such populations are seen and described as static, unchanging, and a given rather than as entities capable of considerable fluctuation and change that affect the human adaptive system…

The Biological Encounter
T HE GENERALLY UNTROUBLED INITIAL YEARS of contact between whites and Indians were undoubtedly marked by mutual appraisal, measured speculation, political forecasts, and economic projections. Standing in the shadows, however, during what must have been exhilarating times, was disaster: European-introduced disease. As one of a number of concerns that accompanied the largely economic thrust of the encounter, this was the most insidious and most des…
