Since canoes were made in many different sizes for different purposes, the number of people carried in them would vary.Some Iroquois canoes were intended to carry a war party or huge supplies of goods and could be up to 30 feet long; around 18 warriors could easily be carried in such a large boat. There would also be many smaller canoes intended to carry a family, for fishing or carrying a small party of men - despite the misinformation available on the Internet, not all Iroquois tribes made their canoes 30 feet long.Experts have written that the elm-bark and dugout canoes used by the Iroquois tribes were far inferior to those of their Algonquian neighbours (who generally used birch bark) and that consequently the Iroquois groups preferred to travel on foot whenever possible.

The year attributed to this is 1570, but many attempts were made prior to that date to establish the union, known to the First Nations as "we are of one lodge or extended lodge." One hundred and fifty years later, the Five Nations welcomed the Tuscarora and they became the Six Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy. This union gave them the numbers they needed to effectively expand and fight the invaders into their lands.
