Kiotsaeton's Three Rivers Address: An Example of "Effective" Iroquois Oratory.

Robie, Harry W.

American Indian Quarterly, v6 n3,4 p238-53 Fall-Win 1982

The "effectiveness" of a single rhetorical strategy in a speech delivered by the Iroquois spokesman, Kiotsaeton, is studied. This example of verbal art was presented at Three Rivers, Quebec, on July 12, 1645, long before the Iroquois Confederacy became subject to, or influenced by, White culture. (Author)
