What tribes made up the Iroquois?
-----------------------------------------------
It was Cayuga, Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, and Seneca tribes
The names of the six tribes in the Iriquois Confederacy are the Mohawk, the Oneida, the Onondaga, the Cayuga, the Seneca, and the Tuscarora.
The Seneca, the Cayuga, and the Onondaga are three, but the other three are Oneida, Mohawk, and the Tuscarora, which are not exactly their own nation, more part of Oneida.
Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, Seneca, Tuscarora, Huron and Tobacco/Petun. I made sure that these names are what these tribes would like themselves to be called by.
Originally five: Mohawk, Seneca, Onandaga, Oneida and Cayuga. They were joined in 1722 by the Tuscarora who moved north from North Carolina.
I'm not an expert on the Iroquois but one tribe I know is the Seneca. They live in long houses and they usually hunt and grow corn.
