The war between the Erie and the …
Years: 1656 - 1656
The war between the Erie and the Iroquois has lasted for two years.
The Iroquois have by 1656 almost completely destroyed the Erie confederacy, who have refused to flee to the west.
The Erie tribe no longer exist as a unit, but dispersed groups will survive a few more decades before being absorbed into the Iroquois.
Anthropologist Marvin T. Smith (1986:131–32) has theorized that some Erie fled in the late 1650s to Virginia and then South Carolina, where they become known as the Westo.
Subsequent work by John Worth (1995:17) and Eric Bowne (2006) strongly supports Smith’s hypothesis.
