    St. Lawrence Iroquoians

    The St. Lawrence Iroquoians were a group of nations that occupied a vast territory stretching along the St. Lawrence River from the mouth of Lake Ontario to downstream from Quebec City. They occupied this territory from 1200 to 1600 CE, with some researchers suggesting occupation as early as 500 CE. They are part of the Iroquoian language family, which includes several distinct cultural communities sharing similar languages and sedentary lifestyles. At the time of contact with early European explorers, the Iroquoian language family consisted of 12 major groups: Huron-Wendat, Chonnonton, Petun, Erie, Seneca, Cayuga, Onondaga, Oneida, Kanyen’kehà:ka (Mohawk), Susquehannock, Wenro (or Wenrohronon) and St. Lawrence Iroquoian. These peoples lived in the areas that are now southern and central Ontario and Quebec and in the states of Pennsylvania and New York.

    Stan Rogers

    Stanley Allison Rogers, singer, songwriter (born 29 November 1949 in Hamilton, ON; died 2 June 1983 in Hebron, Kentucky). One of Canada’s finest singer-songwriters, Stan Rogers was known for his rich baritone voice and finely crafted folk songs, often written and performed in a traditional Celtic style. He is perhaps best known for the rousing a cappella anthem “Northwest Passage.” Concerned with themes of honour, loyalty and hope, Rogers drew on historic and poetic aspects of the Canadian experience. His music never received widespread radio airplay and was largely unknown outside of folk music circles during his lifetime. His legend grew after his tragic death in an airplane fire in 1983. He was inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2019.
