The Iroquois was (or is) not one tribe, but a group of several different tribes. The Iroquois was a Confederation (hence the term Iroquois Confederation) of many different tribes. The tribes recognized each other's sovereignty, but agreed to assist and collaborate with each other. They resembled a "United Nations" of native tribes more than any particular native country. The Iroquois Confederation's organizational document was used as a reference in writing the United States Constitution.
A constitution is a fundamental, underlying document that lays out the rules and principles for the operation of the gorvenment of a nations or a states.
In the Iroquois constitution, the reference to "great white roots" is a metaphor that symbolizes peace and unity among the member nations of the Iroquois Confederacy. Just as the roots of a tree intertwine and connect, the great white roots represent the idea that the member nations should have strong bonds and work together for the greater good of their people.
