which of the following factors represents an instance of historical continuity described in the passage from sources of indiana?
"the miami indians were in possession of the wabash portage at the time of its discovery by the french, and when exploring parties and bands of immigrants began frequently to pass that way, the shrewd red men gained a considerable income by keeping a trained force there ready to transport boats and cargoes from one river to the other. indeed, as general william henry harrison said, the miamis were "the undoubted proprietors of all that beautiful country watered by the wabash and its tributaries."
. . the iroquois indians were the inveterate enemies of the miamis, and often entered their territory to make war upon them. in the year 1680 a notable fight took place between two large companies of these tribes. the miamis were hunting in the region of st. joseph river when they were surprised by an army of iroquois, who defeated them with great slaughter and carried off about three hundred of their women and children. at that time the iroquois were well-armed with guns, while the miamis had but their bows and arrows and their war clubs.
