They have celebrations to give thanks to Creator for all things in the natural world. At one time, they had a ceremony every month but today, the two main ones are the Green Corn which a celebration like Thanksgiving which originated as a ceremony to celebrate the forming of the Peace Confederacy August 19, 909 A.D. Ceremonies included in the Green Corn, are the Great Feather Dance, the Personal Male Songs, and the Peace Seed Game. Their Sundance is at the end of the Green Corn Ceremony

The other one of great importance is the MidWinter Ceremony. Both currently are used for naming children. Then depending on region, other ceremonies could be the Strawberry Dance, the Huckleberry Dance, the Maple Dance. The Thanksgiving Address is used at all gatherings, not just at ceremonies.

The Iroquois (pronounced /ˈɪrəkwɔɪ/), also known as the Haudenosaunee or the "People of the Longhouse",[1] are an association of several tribes of indigenous people of North America. After the Iroquoian-speaking peoples of present-day central and upstate New York coalesced as distinct tribes, by the 16th century or earlier, they came together in an association known today as the Iroquois League, or the "League of Peace and Power". The original Iroquois League was often known as the Five Nations, as it was composed of the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga and Seneca nations. After the Tuscarora nation joined the League in 1722, the Iroquois became known as the Six Nations. The League is embodied in the Grand Council, an assembly of fifty hereditary sachems.[2] Other Iroquian peoples lived along the St. Lawrence River, around the Great Lakes and in the American Southeast, but they were not part of the Haudenosaunee and often competed and warred with these tribes.

When Europeans first arrived in North America, the Haudenosaunee were based in what is now the northeastern United States, primarily in what is referred to today as upstate New York west of the Hudson River and through the Finger Lakes region.[3] Today, the Iroquois live primarily in New York, Quebec, and Ontario.

The Iroquois League has also been known as the Iroquois Confederacy. Some modern scholars distinguish between the League and the Confederacy.[4][5][6] According to this interpretation, the Iroquois League refers to the ceremonial and cultural institution embodied in the Grand Council, while the Iroquois Confederacy was the decentralized political and diplomatic entity that emerged in response to European colonization. The League still exists. The Confederacy dissolved after the defeat of the British and allied Iroquois nations in the American Revolutionary War.[4]
