	Iroquoian Languages
		The Iroquoian languages were originally spoken over a very large expanse of territory, including much of the southern Canada (Ontario and Quebec), particularly along the St. Lawrence River and the Great Lakes, through large portions of the Mid-Atlantic states, and down into the Carolinas.
		All of the Iroquoian languages today are endangered, to one degree or another, and two of the ten languages above, Huron and Wyandot, are already extinct, with no remaining native speakers.
		Among the Northern Iroquoian languages (that is, all of them except Cherokee), the main differences lie in matters of pronunciation, and less so in vocabulary or grammatical structure, so that if someone knows how to speak one of those languages, they can acquire a working knowledge of one of the others with comparatively little effort.

		The Iroquoian family consists of a group of languages all descended from a common ancestor known as Proto-Iroquoian.
		In Iroquoian languages, as in English, verbs are used to describe actions or states: ratákhe', "he's running"; iostáthen, "it is dry"; sahonwatihné:kanonte', "she gave them another drink." Because all verbs contain pronominal prefixes (ra-, "he"; io-, "it"; honwati-, "she/them"), they may stand alone as full sentences in their own right.
		Iroquoian languages offer their speakers many expressive options unknown in European languages, and their speakers in turn exploit them to their fullest.

	Iroquoian Cosmology: Introduction
		In the development of Iroquoian thought, beasts and animals, plants and trees, rocks, and streams of water, having human or other effective attributes or properties in a paramount measure, were naturally regarded as the controllers of those attributes or properties, which could be made available by orenda or magic power.

		Iroquoian groups were differentiated from rest of NE Woodland not only linguistically (rest of NE = Algonkian languages), but also by various cultural features, esp. 1) larger villages based on more intensive agriculture; 2) matrilineal clan system; 3) tribal confederacy; and 4) emphasis on military and economic control of region.
		Recent archaeological evidence has come out in favor of migration view, linking arrival of Iroquoians in NE with development of multi-family (longhouse) dwellings and with maize agriculture (previously absent this far north); these innovations, perhaps coupled w/ tribal political and military organization, allowed Iroquoians to displace Algonkians in regions with rich loamy soils.
		Recall that Iroquoians distinct within NE not only linguistically, but because of such sociopolitical features as matrilineal kinship, strong tribal confederacy, and greater emphasis on war.
