The Haudenosaunee, also known as the Iroquois Confederacy, formed alliances primarily among the five original nations: the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, and Seneca, later joined by the Tuscarora. This alliance was established to promote peace and cooperation among the nations and to provide mutual defense against external threats. The confederacy's political structure and decision-making processes allowed for unified action and strengthened their collective power in the region. The alliances were further complicated during European colonization, as different nations aligned with various European powers for strategic advantages.

What is the origin of the name Iroqouis when the League is properly called the Haudenosaunee?

The name Iroquois is a French transliteration of irinakhoiw, a Huron (Wyandot) name for the Haudenosaunee as opposed to a name proffered by the Haudenosaunee themselves. As the Hurons were traditional enemies, they used a derogatory term, meaning "black snakes" or "real adders". The reason the French used the Huron name was that the Huron were allied with the French and traded furs with them.
