Susquehannock Susquehannock alliances and trade also extended to the Erie and Neutrals, with the result that the Iroquois were surrounded by hostile tribes. For the Susquehannock, the worst blow was a smallpox epidemic in 1661 that devastated their population to a point from which it never recovered. Under the terms of the peace agreed to, the Susquehannock were settled among the Mohawk and Oneida, became members of the Iroquois "covenant chain," and their dominion over the Delaware and other former allies was also surrendered to the League. members.tripod.com /alina_frank/susquehannock.html   (3814 words)

Susquehannocks History After an outbreak in 1677 the Susquehannocks were faced with the renewed vigor and strength of their enemies, the Iroquois, who had made peace with the French and native tribes, joined together now against the Susquehannocks. The story of the Susquehannock, or the scraps that remain of what must have been a brilliant tale, is little remembered today by but a few so-called “old timers” and a handful of anthropologists or arm chair historians. According to local legend the Susquehannocks were very good at negotiations for firearms and at one point acquired a cannon for defense of one of their palisaded towns, which would make this tribe the only one in America to have been so armed. www.portdeposit.com /History/Susquehannocks.htm   (3269 words)

Spanish Hill   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14) By the early 1600's, the Susquehannocks had left the village of Carantouan as they began to lose significant numbers of their population due to constant Indian wars with neighboring tribes. It would seem that the the Susquehannocks and their Carantouan village would have only have been in existence for less than 40 years during the time the Europeans began writing about their experiences with the natives in the new world. In 1763, the last remaining 20 Susquehannocks were living in peace in Conestoga, PA, only to be slaughtered by the Paxton Boys in revenge for Indian raids that these specific people had nothing to do with. www.spanishhill.com /Susquehannocks/who.htm   (906 words)

Where are the Susquehannock? The true nature of their society, whether comprised of a single tribe in a single village, or a confederacy of smaller tribes occupying scattered villages, will probably never be known, since Europeans seldom visited this inland region during the early colonial period. During the 1600's, the Susquehannocks, like many eastern tribes, were constantly forming alliances and waging wars with their neighbors, both native and European, for control and profit. For the Susquehannock, although the tribe ceased to exist, their legacy remains with the descendants who can still trace their lineage to the once-powerful confederacy, and with the name that will never be forgotten. native.brokenclaw.net /articles/susquehannock.html   (1673 words)
