Who Are the Iroquois Native Americans?
Iroquois Native Americans are members of an Indian tribe indigenous to the northeastern United States. Originally, their homeland was between Niagara Falls and the Adirondack Mountains in what is now upstate New York. Five tribes initially made up the Iroquois nation: the Seneca, Mohawk, Onondaga, Cayuga, and Oneida. In 1722, a sixth tribe, the Tuscarora, joined them and became part of the Iroquois nation. Through conquest and migration, the Iroquois eventually gained control over most of eastern Canada and the northeastern United States.
