The Iroquois were a confederation of 5 tribes (later 6); initially the Onondagas, Cayugas, Senecas, Mohawks and Oneidas, they were later joined by the Tuscaroras.
This league of tribes was one of the most powerful groups of people in North America, defeating and often absorbing the people of many of the neighbouring tribes.
So there is no such thing as the Iroquois tribe; it is the name of a league of allied tribes.
