Story Behind The Book
In the early 17th century the struggle to obtain furs for European trade began among the Native American tribes of the Great Lakes region. In the course of the struggle, the nation known to us as the Iroquois lost large numbers through warfare and disease. They took to replacing their depleted population by forcibly adopting members of the tribes that they had conquered. "Captive Daughter, Enemy Wife," follows the experiences of a young Neutral Indian girl, her mother and brother, through the experience of capture and integration into the Onondaga tribe of the Iroquois Five Nations.
