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.
