Iroquois 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.
