The Iroquois Confederacy, also known as the Haudenosaunee, consists of six tribes: the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, Seneca, and Tuscarora. These tribes united to form a powerful alliance in the northeastern United States and parts of Canada, historically known for their sophisticated political system and influence. Each tribe has its own unique culture and governance, but they share a common heritage and language.

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.
Because so many tribes are connected together so they called it Iroquois.

The Iroquois tribes did not live on Long Island; the tribes were all from the Algonquian language group.
