The Iroquois villages had both positive and negative effects on the environment. They practiced sustainable agriculture, including crop rotation, which helped maintain soil fertility. However, their deforestation and hunting practices led to some environmental degradation, particularly in areas where they settled for longer periods.
Political structure of the Iroquois allowed them to cooperate (the different tribes), which made them strong, but at times like the American Revolution, were people had to decide which side to support, the nations of the Iroquois could choose differently, thus creating an unstable environment.

The Iroquois learned to build houses that were suited to the climate. They learned to make clothes that were appropriate for the changing seasons. They learned the seasonal migrations of the local animals.
