Iroquois is not the name of a tribe but of a league of confederated tribes: the Seneca, Cayuga, Onondaga, Oneida and Mohawk (plus the Tuscarora after 1722).

All of these were farming and hunting people who also fished and gathered wild plant foods. They cultivated the usual crops - maize, beans and squash.

What were the social classes for the Iroquois?

The Iroquois society was primarily organized into three main social classes: chiefs, commoners, and slaves. The chiefs, often from influential families, held significant political power and were responsible for decision-making within the tribe. Commoners, who made up the majority of the population, engaged in farming, hunting, and other daily activities. Slavery existed in Iroquois society, with enslaved individuals typically captured from rival tribes, but their status was not as rigidly defined as in European contexts.
