"Iroquois" is not the name of a tribe but an alliance or league of tribes speaking related languages (the Mohawk, Seneca, Cayuga, Onondaga, Oneida and Tuscarora). They have certainly not "disappeared" - where would anyone get that notion from? They are alive and well today and many live on reservations or in towns in the USA and Canada.
The Cattaraugus reservation in upper New York state is today home to around 2,500 Senecas and is worth a visit - in total around 30,000 Senecas live today in the USA.
