The tribes of the Iroquois worked together primarily for mutual protection and to enhance their political and social stability. By forming the Iroquois Confederacy, also known as the Haudenosaunee, they established a framework for collective decision-making, which helped them address common challenges such as warfare, trade, and resource management. This alliance fostered a sense of unity and identity among the tribes, allowing them to present a stronger front against external threats and to collaborate more effectively in various aspects of life.

The official name for the five tribes that banded together to form the Iroquois Confederacy was the Haudenosaunee, also known as the Iroquois League. The original five tribes included the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, and Seneca. Later, the Tuscarora joined the Confederacy, bringing the total to six tribes. The Haudenosaunee played a significant role in the political and social structure of the region.
The Iroquois Confederacy first began when five different Native American nations, the Cayuga, the Onondaga, the Mohawk, the Seneca, and the Oneida came together against their common enemies, to strengthen their tribes. Each tribe had its representative. If a tribe had a conflict, the Iroquois Confederacy representatives came together and discussed it until they could reach a compromise. Usually these compromises worked. The Iroquois Confederacy was a form of government among the more Southern Eastern Woodlands Tribes.
