The 20th Annual Six Nations IND Iil..N P AGZi\.NT at the Forest Theatre on Sour Springs Highway presenting TIB GB.EAT IROQUOIS LEAGUE OF PEACE Now, why do Canadian History Books continue to libel the Iroquois as a savage and pri- mitive race, when t hey had a League of Peace 400 years before the coming of the white man? The reason is just plain envy of our high Traditions and History. The Iroquois had buried their weapons of war and were advanced in pursuing the Arts of Peace at the coming of t he white man , who introduced gun-powder and .Shattered the Peace. All the early Colonial Wars were wars of extinction for the natives. The Beotucks of Newfoundland and other tribes are no more. The miracle of this day and age is that we have continued to exist. The bow and arrow of the early Indian can bear no comparison with the atom bomb of today in its devastation. Ho,hum, who does history say the savage was? W. J .
