What where the conflicts between the Iroquois and the Europeans?
The first contact with the Europeans was disastrous for the first peoples. Explorers and traders brought European diseases, such as smallpox, which killed off entire villages. Relations varied between the settlers and the Natives. The French befriended several Algonquin nations, the Huron (Wyandot) people and nations of the Wabanaki Confederacy, and entered into a mutually beneficial trading relationship with them. The Iroquois, however, became dedicated opponents of the French, as they had been of their Huron neighbours, and warfare between the two was unrelenting, especially as the British armed the Iroquois in an effort to weaken the French.
How did native Americans communicate with white men?
By means of signs, just as they always communicated with other native groups who spoke many different languages.
Columbus reported communicating with natives by means of gesture signs; when Cabrillo landed at San Diego Bay in September 1542, he reported that:
"The following day, in the morning, there came to the ships three large Indians and by signs they said that there were travelling in the interior men like us - with beards, and clothes and arms like our own, and they made signs that these men carried cross-bows and swords, and made signs that they killed many of the natives who were greatly afraid."
Coronado, travelling in Texas in 1540, said of the Tonkawas and Comanches that:
". . . although they converse by means of signs, they make themselves so well understood that there is no need of an interpreter."
Dr E B Tyler, an authority on native American peoples, said that signs were a medium of converse from Hudson's Bay to the Gulf of Mexico.

Why did the Iroquois League succeed?
When they took captives, they would torture them by cutting off their noses and ears and make them eat both body parts, as well as make them bite of their own fingers. If the captive made a big deal and cried about it, the Iroquois would just kill them. If the captive remained calm and "strong", or took it like a man, the tribe would eat that captive. They believed eating a "manly" or strong man would make them stronger. You are what you eat, so to speak. The women of the tribe would also choose when to go to war, as they were the kin keepers. I think this makes a group stronger, too, lol.
