[Aztlan] Cherokees and Iroquoians

[Nick Hopkins]

In response to Mylne's inquiry:  The migration history is my  
inference from the linguistic analyses I reviewed when teaching a  
course on North American Ethnology; I don't know if this is a model  
commonly held by Iroquoianists.  The principal sources are by  
Marianne Mithun's articles.  I also note a reference to a Lounsbury  
(1961) but I can't find the citation altho I'm sure Mithun cites it.   
There should be ample discussion of the topic in the Handbook volume  
on Languages (Goddard 1996).
