The Iroquois longhouse is a traditional dwelling of the Iroquois people, with its origins dating back several centuries before European contact, around the late 1500s to early 1600s. Longhouses were constructed using wooden frames covered with bark, designed to house multiple families. While it's difficult to pinpoint an exact date for the "first" longhouse, they became a significant part of Iroquois culture and community life during this period.
