Northeast Iroquois Nation



Who are the Iroquois?  

There is a huge geographic area in the northeastern part of the United States that is known as the Woodlands. The Woodlands include all five great lakes - Lake Ontario, Erie, Huron, Michigan, and Superior - as well as the Finger Lakes and the Saint Lawrence River.

The most powerful group were the Iroquois Nations - the Seneca, Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, and Tuscaronra. The Iroquois spoke the same language. They believed in the same gods. They had many similar customs. 

Today, the Iroquois people live much like their non-Indian neighbors, but, like all people, they still enjoy many of their old traditions. Click on the links below to explore the incredible Iroquois Nation in olden times.
