Was the Iroquois a warrior tribe?
First of all, the Iroquois are not a "tribe" by popular understanding. They are, inherently, a "nation" comprised of several tribes (also called "clans"). The name "Iroquois" was awarded them by French traders. Traditionally, they are referred to as Haudenosaunee, or "People of the Longhouse". Originally, five nations made up the body of the Iroquois League. They are the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, and Seneca nations. The Tuscarora joined in 1722, making the Iroquois become known as the Six Nations. As far as them being warriors, certain member tribes of the League were known to be warlike. However, the whole was more diplomatic than combative.
What was the Iroquois spirit animal?
The Iroquois were not one tribe but a confederacy of tribes. Each tribe was made up of different clans, each with its own animal protector.In a treaty with the French in Canada of about 1700, the Senecas and Onondagas were represented by pictures of branching trees; the Cayuga by a calumet (sacred pipe); the Oneida by a forked tree; the Mohawk by a bear. Elsewhere the Mohawks were represented by an image of flint, because of their being named "People of Flint".From this it is clear that even individual tribes did not have "spirit animals", these were more usually associated with clans within tribes.

The year attributed to this is 1570, but many attempts were made prior to that date to establish the union, known to the First Nations as "we are of one lodge or extended lodge."
