The "Iroquois" is / was, a "Confederation" - "League of Peace and Power" quoting its real meaning. It consisted of at least 6 nations joined together, and each of these nations had many tribes under them. Our system of government has never been well understood or explained by European's or their descendants, as this form of government is outside their understanding.
The Iroquois was (or is) not one tribe, but a group of several different tribes. The Iroquois was a Confederation (hence the term Iroquois Confederation) of many different tribes. The tribes recognized each other's sovereignty, but agreed to assist and collaborate with each other. They resembled a "United Nations" of native tribes more than any particular native country. The Iroquois Confederation's organizational document was used as a reference in writing the United States Constitution.
