The Erie Indians were a Native American tribe that originally inhabited the region around Lake Erie, primarily in present-day western New York and parts of Pennsylvania. They were part of the Iroquoian language family and were known for their agricultural practices, fishing, and hunting. The Erie were closely associated with the Great Lakes and their culture was influenced by the surrounding Iroquois Confederacy. Unfortunately, the tribe faced significant decline in the 17th century due to warfare, disease, and displacement by European settlers.
