The Iroquois are a group of Native American tribes originally from the northeastern United States and Canada. They are known for their rich culture, complex social structure, and significant historical influence. The Iroquois Confederacy, also called the Haudenosaunee, was formed to promote peace and cooperation among the tribes, which include the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, Seneca, and later the Tuscarora. The Iroquois are famous for their longhouses, which served as communal living spaces for extended families. They played a crucial role in early American history, particularly during the French and Indian War and the American Revolution. Their democratic principles and governance system have inspired modern political thought
