How did iroquois interact with the Europeans and Africans?

The Iroquois engaged with Europeans primarily through trade, diplomacy, and conflict. They formed strategic alliances, notably with the French and later the British, to enhance their political power and protect their territory. Interactions with Africans were less direct, as the Iroquois primarily encountered enslaved Africans through European trade networks, but they did recognize the complexities of these relationships and sometimes participated in the broader colonial economy. Overall, the Iroquois adapted to European presence while striving to maintain their autonomy and cultural identity.
