VIRTUAL PRESENTATION Separate Vessels: Iroquois Engagements with the Dutch of New Netherland

Guest Speaker Jon Parmenter, Associate Professor of History, Cornell University

In this talk, Jon Parmenter will analyze the documentary and archaeological evidence of Iroquois-Dutch interactions in New Netherland. He will shed new light on the ways in which the idea of kaswentha, an Iroquois-conceived model of mutually beneficial intergroup relations represented by a Two Row wampum belt, shaped Dutch exchanges with their Iroquois neighbors from the era of initial direct contact to the English conquest of 1664.
