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.
The civil leader of the Mohawk tribe during the French and Indian War was Johannes Tekaerihoga. He died about 1780.

Girls in ancient Greece generally received no formal education; it was a culture that believed education for boys and young men was much more important. However, there were exceptions.

Did the Iroquois hunt buffalo?
Answer: Yes, the eastern tribes did hunt a buffalo species (Bison bison pennsylvanicus - the eastern woodlands bison) which other answerers are clearly ignorant about. This was a subspecies of the North American buffalo (Bison bison bison), larger, darker and with longer, thinner horns.
This buffalo species lived in woodland areas in very small groups, grazing the underbrush instead of grass (like an elk). They were always far less numerous than Plains buffalo and consequently more difficult to find and kill. The species may have become largely extinct by 1800 - meaning that the Iroquois tribes had plenty of opportunity to hunt them throughout the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, entirely on foot and at first using only the typical long Iroquoian bow.
The Cayuga and Onondaga languages include a memory of those long-ago woodlands buffalo - the words degriyag�« (Cayuga; a buffalo) and dege.ya'gi' (Onondaga; a buffalo).

Define the Iroquois Confederacy?
The Iroquois Confederacy was a sophisticated political and social system. It united the territories of the five nations in a symbolic longhouse that stretched across the present-day state of New York. The original five nations of the Confederacy were divided into two groups: the Elders, consisting of the Mohawk, the Onondaga, and the Seneca; and the Younger, the Oneida and the Cayuga. Despite this distinction, all decisions of the Confederacy had to be unanimous.
