What reading level is Economics of the Iroquois book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Among the latter, ceremonials of worship, though still of the simplest kind, are somewhat more regular and definite than those among the inhabitants of barren and jungle regions. Jusl as there is an increasing clearness in ideas of the deities, so there is manifest a corresponding development in the forms by which these supernatural powers are propitiated.
In the republican clan economy, access to the surplus is con- trolled mainly by the clan rather than the individual ; hence the group, as su...ch, offers prayers and sacrifices to propitiate whatever powers have influence upon its welfare. In other words, not the individual member, but the clan as a whole, under its regular leaders, attends personally to the religious rites and ceremonies deemed necessary to keep the powers in good humor. From the very nature of hunting life, no priestly intervention is needed between the clan and its gods. Ceremonies, though fre- quent, are not elaborate enough to confuse any clan member ; furthermore, in the hunting life, no special class of learned men is needed to direct the activities of the clan : hence no set of men, on the strength of superior knowledge of this sort, can assume authority over the rest and so become the priestly class of the community.
