易洛魁人是北美地区最重要的印第安人部族之一。从殖民地时代到美国建国初期,易洛魁人与白人的文化关系发生了明显的阶段性变化,经历了从最初的敌对,到中期的容忍和接受,最后回归到敌对的转变轨迹。这种变化反映出印第安人与白人文化接触过程的复杂性,对其进行考察有助于全面了解印、白文化关系的历史变迁。 Iroquois is one of the most important Native American tribes in North America. From the colonial era to the early days of the founding of the United States, the cultural relations between the Iroquois and the whites have undergone obvious phase changes. They have undergone a gradual change from the initial hostile to the mid-term tolerance and acceptance, and finally return to hostile changes. This change reflects the complexity of the contact process between Indians and whites. It is helpful for us to understand the historical changes of the relationship between Indian and white cultures.
