Best Answer

No, the Iroquois Indians didn't participate in the first Thanksgiving. Their League included the Cayuga, Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga and Seneca Indian nations. It didn't include the Wampanoag Confederacy to which the Indians under Massassoit [c. 1581-1661] belonged. Additionally, the Iroquois League and the Wampanoag Confederacy shared different geographical spaces. The Wampanoag were settled in modern day Massachusetts and Rhode Island when the Pilgrims arrived.
