Why were the Iroquois unrelentingly hostile toward the French colonists and their Native allies? The longstanding Beaver War interpretation of seventeenthcentury IroquoisFrench hostilities holds that the Iroquois motives were primarily economic, aimed at controlling the profitable fur trade. Jos Antnio Brando argues persuasively against this view. Drawing from the original French and English sources, Brando has compiled a vast array of quantitative data about Iroquois raids and mortality rates. He offers a penetrating examination of seventeenthcentury Iroquoian attitudes toward foreign policy and warfare, contending that the Iroquois fought New France not primarily to secure their position in a new market economy but for reasons that traditionally fueled Native warfare: to replenish their populations, safeguard hunting territories, protect their homes, gain honor, and seek revenge.
