There was a trend beginning in the 1960s or early 1970s to deny the practice of cannibalism among Native Americans, the Celts and other peoples. It was thought to be dehumanizing and the propaganda of colonizers. There were similar refutations of Phonecian child sacrifice. Alas, archaeological evidence suggests the historical sources are fairly accurate and reflect real practices.

I had to learn, roughly, who was where when Canada/BNA became a thing. I remember also going on field trips to better understand the Algonquin and Huron.

This is roughly what we were taught, I think:

I see the Iroquois were at my favorite part of NY (Upstate).

The "five civilized tribes" were further south closer to the coast: the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek (Muscogee), and Seminole (see Wiki).

4 of the 6 nations in the Iroquois Confederacy (Iroquois is not a tribe) still have territory in New York.

Maps of North American Native American tribes

Here are several maps of the Indian tribes on the North American continent. Pretty cool.

I love Native American history, and have read a good deal about it. Thanks for posting.

People don't realize just how brutal some of the tribes were. It wasn't some idyllic existence. Some of the tribes were quite peaceful, but always had to defend against attacks by the more brutal and savage tribes.

South of Canton, Ohio, there's an old revolutionary war-era fort and also Schoenbrunn

I have been there with my kids many times. Visit the place where Ohio’s only Revolutionary War fort once stood, and see the Tomb of the Unknown Patriot of the American Revolution

Many tribes practiced torture, and some of their methods were as ingenious as they are frankly hard to read about. Larry McMurtry, author of the Lonesome Dove books and many others, has incorporated some of those practices into his stories, but even he has avoided relating some of the more truly horrifying methods. It's one area of research I have to recommend someone not undertake.
