The Cayuga Condolence Cane of Andrew Spragg. The Roll Call of the Iroquois Chiefs

Description

Media Type: Image
Item Type: Photographs
Description: Made sometime after the middle of the nineteenth century, probably about 1860, its use was confined to the Lower Cayuga band on the Grand River...Although it is now a sacred relic, and it has been reproduced once more by the Cayugas, the Cranbrook specimen does not antedate the American Revolution and the dissolution of the League in New York. It cannot be referred, therefore, to the period of the founding of the League
