It refers to the Six Nations Iroquois tribes. They are called "People of the Longhouse" or Haudenosaunee. Their unified tribes were an inspiration to the formation of the new United States. Benjamin Franklin demonstrated this by showing that one arrow will break, yet more of them (6 for Six Nations) will be virtually unbreakable. He "borrowed" this point from them which came from their formation of the original Five Nations (later six when the Tuscarora joined the league).
