The Iroquois Confederacy, also known as the Haudenosaunee, was an alliance of Native American tribes formed to promote peace and cooperation among its members and to avoid conflict with Europeans and other tribes. Established before European contact, it consisted of the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, Seneca, and later the Tuscarora tribes. The Confederacy's governance and decision-making processes significantly influenced the political landscape of North America.
AnswerRed Indians are now known as Native American or American Indians. The origin of the term "Red Man" is not clear. Native Americans are known to have a copperish or brownish hue although some Native Americans can get sunburn and turn redish. Many tribes did paint themselves for war and red may have been the most popular color to indicate tribes intention for combat. Other sources say red refered to the bloody scalps of victims.
