 Frederick Engels and the Iroquois Federation
Engels begins his discussion of the Iroquois federation (Chapter III, "The Iroquois Gens" in The Origin of the Family, Private Property, and the State) by inscribing a basic and fundamental contradiction at the ground of his departure.
Engels goes on to note that "[l]iberty, equality, and fraternity, though never formulated, were cardinal principles" of native society.
Engels eventually turns his attention to elements of religious practice among the Iroquois and notes correctly, of course, that it was centered on a belief in the spirit world.

[3] NOTE by Engels to 1888 German edition: The revolutionary storm of 1848 swept away this whole shabby tendency and cured its protagonists of the desire to dabble in socialism.
