To the group,
 
I am trying to pinpoint the site of Ganatsekyagon, an historic Iroquois
village located somewhere just east of Toronto, Ontario. It sat near the
southern terminous of the eastern carrying place, a portage to the upper
lakes.
 
I have examined early French documentation and it just doesn't get
specific enough. It does however suggest that these Iroquois also traded
with the Dutch from present-day New York state.
 
Does anyone know of any material that discusses 17th century Dutch
trading patterns on the Great Lakes? Please feel free to post this query
to another list if appropriate.
 
Thanks.
