The Iroquois decided to form the Iroquois League which was a confederation or a loose group of government
To stop the fighting with neighboring tribes, the Iroquois formed the Iroquois Confederation. They adopted a set of laws to keep the peace.
Some of the Algonquian tribes made canoes from hollowed logs - the Powhatan of the Virginia tidewater area certainly did. Many other Algonquian tribes made canoes of birch bark over a timber frame, including the Ojibwe, Maliseet, Cree, Algonkin and Naskapi.Canoes made by the Iroquois tribes were generally of elm bark over a timber frame.
The Huron were the traditional enemy of the Iroquois. They were enemies for quite some time. When the Huron made allies with the French in the 1600s, the Iroquois saw this as a threat. They started doing raids, and they wiped out the Huron tribes. They were also an enemy of the French. The Beaver Wars that started in 1609 were actually the Iroquois fighting against the French and Huron over hunting grounds related to the fur trade. They also fought against the French and Algonquians during the French Indian War.
The Iroquois, like other American Indian tribes, descended from a relatively small group of immigrants who came to North America from Siberia by crossing over the Bering Straits at a time when the strait was frozen and could be crossed on foot.
The Iroquois tribes had an extremely violent relationship with the Huron because of rivalries connected with the fur trade - they constantly waged war with each other to the extent that the Huron were finally driven out of their villages and hunting grounds.
The confederacy didn't want to take part in the war, but each side decided which side they wanted to take, which all except the Oneida went with the British

As part of the League of Iroquois the Cayuga lived in typical longhouses of elm bark over a framework of poles.
Some Native American tribes that turned against the French during colonial times were the Iroquois Confederacy, the Fox tribe, and the Huron-Wendat Confederacy. These tribes switched alliances due to a variety of factors, including competition with other tribes, the impact of French colonization on their territories, and conflicts over trade and resources.

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.
