The Iroquois were also known as the Haudenosaunee, which translates to "People of the Longhouse." This name reflects their traditional communal living arrangements and their cultural practices. The Haudenosaunee Confederacy originally consisted of five nations—Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, and Seneca—later joined by the Tuscarora.
