∙ 11y agoIroquois is not the name of a tribe - it is the name given to a group of related tribes. At first these were the Cayuga, Seneca, Mohawk, Onondaga and Oneida, who were joined in 1722 by the Tuscaroras who moved north from North Carolina to seek membership of this league. There is no Iroquois tribe and no Iroquois language, since each of the tribes spoke their own language.
The date that the original 5 tribes joined together for mutual protection was not recorded; it was likely to have been some time in the 1500s, before European explorers reached the area.

Who defeated the Iroquois confederacy?
The Ojibwa stopped the Iroquois advance into their territory near Lake Superior in 1662. Then they formed an alliance with other tribes such as the Huron and the Ottawa who had been displaced by the Iroquois invasion. Together they launched a massive counter attack against the Iroquois and drove them out of Michigan and Southern Ontario until they were forced to flee back to their original homeland in upstate New York. At the same time they were subjected to attacks by the French. This was the beginning of the end of the Iroquois Confederacy as they were put on the defensive. It wasn't until the American Revolutionary War that the Iroquois Confederacy finally fell apart. Some members of the league such as the Seneca and Mohawk sided with the British while the Cayuga and the Oneida sided with the Americans.
