History of the iroquios

Iroquois is the French Name for the Haudenosaunee ("People of the Longhouse") and are a Confederacy of currently six nations. The original Confederacy was often known as the Five Nations, and comprised the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, and Seneca nations. After the Tuscarora nation joined the Confederacy in the 18th century, the Iroquois have often been known as the Six Nations by the British.
