Who were the leaders of the Iroquois confederacy?

The leaders of the Iroquois Confederacy, also known as the Haudenosaunee, included notable figures such as Hiawatha, a Mohawk peacemaker, and Deganawida, a spiritual leader and the Great Peacemaker who advocated for unity among the tribes. The confederacy was made up of five original nations: the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, and Seneca, later joined by the Tuscarora. Each nation had its own chiefs, known as sachems, who were part of the Grand Council that governed the confederacy. The Iroquois Confederacy was known for its sophisticated political system and influence on democratic principles.
