Hiawatha fondly remembered as the 'Great Peacemaker' founded the powerful Iroquois confederacy by uniting six tribes. Together they were a formidable force in North America.
The Iroquois Confederacy first began when five different Native American nations, the Cayuga, the Onondaga, the Mohawk, the Seneca, and the Oneida came together against their common enemies, to strengthen their tribes. Each tribe had its representative. If a tribe had a conflict, the Iroquois Confederacy representatives came together and discussed it until they could reach a compromise. Usually these compromises worked. The Iroquois Confederacy was a form of government among the more Southern Eastern Woodlands Tribes.
The League of the Iroquois and the Confederacy of the Iroquois are interchangeable names. It was a non-aggression pact between five tribes who shared common interests. As a form of representative government, the league is believed to have influenced the governing system of the United States.
Dekanawida, more commonly known as the Great Peacemaker, was an Iroquois statesman who co-founded the Iroquois Confederacy with Hiawatha.
