Who were the five major Iroquois pepoles?

The five major Iroquois nations, known as the Haudenosaunee or the Iroquois Confederacy, are the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, and Seneca. These tribes formed a powerful political and military alliance in what is now New York State, promoting unity and cooperation among them. The Tuscarora joined the confederacy later, in the early 18th century, making it the Six Nations. Each nation had its own distinct culture and governance but shared a common system of law and mutual defense.
