How the Haudenosaunee became Six Nations

Why did the Tuscarora leave their homes in the Carolinas to become the Sixth Nation of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy? It comes down to land. From disagreements over “proper” land use to complex treaties, Native Americans have been systematically dispossessed of their land over hundreds of years. Yet, as Cory discovers, indigenous culture continues to enrich the world.
