Lawrence Iroquoians were an who existed from the 14th century to about 1580. They concentrated along the shores of the in present-day and, Canada, and in the states of and northernmost. They spoke, a branch of the family.The estimated their numbers as 120,000 people in 25 nations occupying an area of 230,000 square kilometres (89,000 sq mi). However, many scholars believe that estimate of the number of St. Lawrence Iroquoians and the area they controlled is too expansive. The current archaeological evidence indicates that the largest known village had a population of about 1,000 and their total population was 8,000–10,000.

The traditional view is that they disappeared because of late 16th-century warfare by the nation of the or Iroquois League, which wanted to control trade with Europeans in the valley.Knowledge about the St. Lawrence Iroquoians has been constructed from the studies of surviving of the historical past from the current Native people, writings of the French explorer, earlier histories, and ' and other scholars' work with and studies since the 1950s.Archaeological evidence has established that the St. Lawrence Iroquoians were a people distinct from the other regional Iroquoian peoples, the Five Nations of the and the (Huron). However, recent archaeological finds suggest distinctly separate groups may have existed among the St. Lawrence Iroquoians as well. The name 'St Lawrence Iroquoians' refers to a geographic area in which the inhabitants shared some cultural traits, including a common language, but were not politically united.The name of the country of Canada is probably derived from the Iroquoian word kanata, which means village or settlement. Territory occupied by the St.

Lawrence Iroquoians, circa 1535For years historians, archeologists and related scholars debated the identity of the Iroquoian cultural group in the St. Lawrence valley which and his crew recorded encountering in 1535–36 at the villages of. An increasing amount of evidence collected since the 1950s has settled some of the debate. Since the 1950s, anthropologists and some historians have used definitive linguistic and archaeological studies to reach consensus that the St. Lawrence Iroquoians were peoples distinct from nations of the or the. Since the 1990s, they have concluded that there may have been as many as 25 tribes among the St.

Lawrence Iroquoians, who numbered anywhere from 8000 to 10,000 people. They lived in the river lowlands and east of the Great Lakes, including in present-day northern New York and Vermont.Before this, some scholars argued that the people were the ancestors or direct relations of historic Iroquoian groups in the greater region, such as the or, or of the Five Nations of the encountered by later.

Since the 18th century, several theories have been proposed for the identity of the St. Lawrence River peoples. The issue is important not only for historical understanding but because of Iroquois and other indigenous land claims.In 1998 James F. Pendergast, a Canadian archeologist, summarized the four major theories with an overview of evidence:. Huron-Mohawk Option:Several historians combined data from early French reports, vocabulary lists, and oral histories of accounts by Native tribes to theorize the early inhabitants were Iroquoian-speaking Huron or Mohawk, two tribes well known in later colonial history.

There has not been sufficient documentation to support this conclusion according to 20th-century standards. In addition, archaeological finds and linguistic studies since the 1950s have discredited this theory. Mohawk Identity Option:Based in part on material from the 18th century, and developed a theory that the (in some cases, they also postulated Onondaga and Oneida) had migrated and settled in the St.

Lawrence River valley before relocating to their historic territory of present-day New York. Pendergast says that attribution of Stadacona or Hochelaga as Mohawk, Onondaga or Oneida has not been supported by the archaeological data. 'Since the 1950s a vast accumulation of archaeological material from Ontario, Quebec, and consistently has provided compelling evidence to demonstrate that neither the Mohawk, the Onondaga, nor the Oneida homelands originated in the St Lawrence Valley.' .

Lawrence Iroquoian and St. Lawrence Iroquois Identity:Since the 1950s, anthropologists, archaeologists, linguists and have combined to conclude that 'a wholly indigenous and discrete Iroquoian people were present in the St Lawrence Valley when Cartier arrived. The current convention is to designate these people St Lawrence Iroquoians, all the while being aware that on-going archaeological research indicates that several discrete Iroquoian political entities were present in a number of widely dispersed geographical regions on the St Lawrence River axis.' As noted, anthropologists and some historians have used definitive linguistic and archaeological studies to reach consensus that the St. Lawrence Iroquoians were a people distinct from nations of the or the, and likely consisted of numerous groups.

Pendergast notes that while Iroquoians and topical academics have mostly reached consensus on this theory, some historians have continued to publish other theories and ignore the archaeological evidence. Lawrence Iroquoians did share many cultural, historical, and linguistic aspects with other Iroquoian groups; for example, their languages were part of the Iroquoian family and aspects of culture and societal structure were similar.The St.

Lawrence Iroquoians appear to have disappeared from the St. Lawrence valley some time prior to 1580. Champlain reported no evidence of Native habitation in the valley. By then the Haudenosaunee used it as a hunting ground and avenue for war parties.As the historian Pendergast argues, the determination of identity for the St. Lawrence Iroquoians is important because, 'our understanding of relations between Europeans and Iroquoians during the contact era throughout Iroquoia hinges largely upon the tribe or confederacy to which Stadacona and Hochelaga are attributed.'

Culture and subsistence. An artists conception of the interior of an Iroquoian longhouse.Prehistoric Iroquoian culture and agriculture in Canada is first detected by archaeologists in 500 CE at the site in. Iroquoian culture is detected in the region of Quebec in about 1000 CE. By 1250 or 1300 maize was being grown in what would become the Quebec City area. By about 1300, four distinct subculture areas of St. Lawrence Iroquoian culture existed: (1) with a population of about 2,500;, with a population of 2,500; the basin west of Montreal with a population of 1,000; and the Montreal and Quebec city areas with a population of 2,000 to 3,000.

There were also settlements in northernmost Vermont and neighboring Ontario near.Most of the St. Lawrence Iroquoian villages were located in inland locations a few kilometers from the river itself.

By the end of the 15th century they were encircled by earthworks and palisades, indicating a need for defense. The villages usually were 2 hectares (4.9 acres) to 3.25 hectares (8.0 acres) in area. Inside the palisades the St. Lawrence people lived in, typical of other neighboring Iroquoian peoples. The longhouses were 18 metres (59 ft) to 41 metres (135 ft) in length and each housed several families. Archaeologists have estimated that villages had an average population of 150-250 people although a few larger villages housed considerably more.The Iroquoians occupied their villages for ten or more years until their longhouses deteriorated and the fertility of the soil for their crops declined.

Then, they built a new village and cleared land for crops, usually only a few miles from their previous home The frequent changes of location has given problems to archaeologists in estimating the numbers on the St. Lawrence Iroquoian people. Dating techniques may not be precise enough to determine whether villages were occupied simultaneously or sequentially.In addition to the characteristic villages, the St. Lawrence Iroquoian peoples had 'a mixed economy, in which they drew their subsistence from growing, and,. These nations also had in common a matrilineal, clan-based social organization, and a political system sufficiently structured to permit confederation at times.

Most of them engaged in guerrilla warfare, grew and used tobacco, and produced pottery vessels.' Sunflowers were also grown for their oily seeds. Investigations at several former settlements have indicated that their most important foods were maize and fish. They hunted and other game.In 1535, the French explorer, Jacques Cartier, commented on cultural differences between the people of Hochelaga (Montreal area) and Stadacona (Quebec area). Cartier described the large and productive maize fields surrounding Hochelaga, and said its inhabitants were sedentary, as compared to the people of Stadacona who were migratory. The Stadaconans were closer to the salt-water resources (, and ) of the lower St.

Lawrence River and the Gulf of St Lawrence and ranged widely in their in search of marine animals. Moreover, the Quebec area was the most northerly location in northeastern North America in which agriculture was practiced, especially during the cooler temperatures of the in the 16th century.

For Stadaconans, depending on agriculture was a riskier subsistence strategy than for the people of Hochelaga and they probably relied less on agriculture and more on exploitation of sea mammals, fishing, and hunting.The St. Lawrence Iroquoians were not united politically and villages and cultural groups may have been unfriendly and competitive with each other, as well as being hostile to the neighboring and other Iroquoian groups. European contacts , and fishermen may have come into contact with the St.

Lawrence Iroquoians early in the 16th century. French navigator Thomas Aubert visited the area in 1508 and sailed 80 leagues, perhaps 350 kilometres (220 mi), through the Gulf of St Lawrence and into the St. Lawrence River. He took back to France seven natives, possibly Iroquoians, who he captured during his voyage.
