They are known for the The Iroquois League - an alliance/peace consisting of the 5 Iroquois groups or nations: the Onondaga, the Seneca, the Mohawk, the Oneida, and the Cayuga. These groups often warred with each other. In the 1500s, these five groups established the Great Peace, an alliance that was joined by the Tuscarora peoples in 1715. The Iroquois League created a constitution. They also had a "Grand Council". The Iroquois and Cherokee had formal law codes and formed federations. it is cool right

Answer this question… The League of the Iroquois refers to the well known historic confederacy of the Seneca, Cayuga, Onondaga, Oneida, and Mohawk in New York State. The League was characterized by a non-aggression pact between the five tribes, recognition of shared concerns, and structures for decision-making and leadership which brought together representatives from the five groups. To some extent, the structure and operation of the League of the Iroquois as a form of representative government is thought to have influenced the creation of the United States government system. Today, the Confederacy (also called the Six Nations Iroquois) continues to function and has grown from the original five tribes to include the Tuscarora tribe, which joined the League in the 1700s. Since the League (also called the Iroquois Confederacy) was first described in print in the mid-eighteenth century by a Moravian missionary, much discussion has focused on its age and origins. While it is apparent that the League was in existence when Jesuits first visited the Canadian Huron in the 1630s, opinions differ about how long the League has been in existence. The point of these discussions has been to determine whether the League was formed as a result of contact with Europeans or the whether it is-as the Iroquois themselves claim-of pre-contact Native origin.
I think that the formation of the Iroquois League benefit its member nations becuase a) there was less fighting and b) they could trade with each other.
Almost. The Iroquois were a confederation of 5 tribes (later 6); initially the Onondagas, Cayugas, Senecas, Mohawks and Oneidas, they were later joined by the Tuscaroras. This league of tribes was one of the most powerful groups of people in North America, defeating and often absorbing the people of many of the neighbouring tribes. So there is no such thing as the Iroquois tribe; it is the name of a league of allied tribes.
Well, I know that one of the groups is called the Iroquois
Iroquois tribes were divided into three main groups known as the Haudenosaunee, or the Five Nations, which later became the Six Nations with the addition of the Tuscarora. These groups included the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, Seneca, and later the Tuscarora. Each tribe had its own territory and governance but collaborated through a confederacy that emphasized unity and collective decision-making. The Iroquois League was a significant political and cultural alliance among these tribes.
One influence for this system was the governance structure of the Iroquois League: five individual groups of Native Americans who joined together for their common defense. It was extremely unusual for so many individual entities ( the 13 colonies) to consider uniting within a structure that would allow them to retain their autonomy, and Benjamin Franklin, a delegate to the Constitutional Convention, had admired the polity of the Iroquois League for decades.
The original Iroquois League (also known as the Five Nations) consisted of the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, and Seneca tribes.
