Did the Erie tribes disappear?

The Erie tribe and their neighbours the Tionontati (Tobacco Indians) and the Attiwandaronk (Neutrals) were caught up in 17th century trade wars which originated with French, Dutch and English traders demanding huge numbers of beaver skins and other furs. The powerful Iroquois soon exhausted the supply of beavers in their own country and the only answer was to expand and take over lands occupied by other tribes. In March 1649 the Senecas and Mohawks (part of the Iroquois group) attacked the Hurons, who burned their own villages and fled west. By 1651 the Tobacco and Neutral tribes had been almost wiped out, followed in 1654 by the Erie. The survivors of all these tribes were often absorbed into the Iroquois, being adopted into clans and forcibly married to Iroquois men and women. So no, the Erie people did not disappear, their remnants were simply absorbed into the Iroquois.
