An Ancient History of the Six Nations is an early (if not the first) account of Native American history and myth, written and published in English by an Indian. It tells the history of the six peoples or nations, which are. Teakawrehhogeh or Mohawks, Newhawtehtahgo or Oneidas, Seuhnaukata or Onondagas, Shoneanawetowah or Cayugas, Tehooneanyohent or Senecas, and Kautanohakau or Tuscarora. Since the history is compiled from ancient myths, it has a legendary and folklore character. It is interesting that this history was used as evidence for the existence of Bigfoot and the Lake Champlain monster.
