- Title
Rousing a Curiosity in Hewitt's Iroquois Cosmologies.
- Authors
White, Kevin J.
- Abstract
An essay is presented on scholar John Napoleon Brinton Hewitt's interpretation of Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) cosmologies. According to the author, Hewitt's scholarship demonstrates distinctive cultural interpretations of the Earth's creation, while other scholars such as William Fenton have reduced these accounts into a single narrative. It is suggested that Hewitt's accounts also contain Haudenosaunee philosophies and epistemologies from which scholars could benefit.
