Their homelands stood at a crucial chokepoint between the Great Lakes and the Atlantic Ocean, placing them in a unique position to either negotiate for what they wanted...or take it by force. These options of diplomacy or violence best describes the subject of this episode: Chief Canaqueese, a man of Mohawk and Dutch lineage who engaged in plenty of each during his lifetime. His life of warfare, mixed with a desire to attempt to end this continual way of life, provides a vantage point through which to explore the Haudenosaunee and the power they held along the North American interior in the 1600's and 1700's.
