The History of the Five Indian Nations Depending on the Province of New-York in America: A Critical Edition by Cadwallader Colden
A modern reprint of Colden's book, originally published in 1727 and 1747, with essays by John Dixon and Karim Tiro. A useful read, though obviously impacted by the biases Colden brought to his subject. I would have appreciated more context and background from the editors.
