IROQUOIS CONFEDERATION The Iroquois Confederacy aimed to create an empire by incorporating subservient, conquered peoples. The Iroquois Confederacy initially consisted of five tribes who were in close proximity of the Iroquois territory. Iroquois, any member of the North American Indian tribes speaking a language of the Iroquoian family—notably the Cayuga, Cherokee, Huron, Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Seneca, and Tuscarora.

Onondaga
The Mohawk, ("People of the Flint"), were the easternmost people of the early Iroquois Confederacy, called "Keepers of Eastern Deaf", they were the protectors of the confederacy's eastern border
Cayuga
For most of the historic era, the Oneida lived in a single village near Lake Oneida in north-central New York state. Their name, meaning "People of the Standing Stone"- is derived form a legend, according to which a large stone periodically would appear to lead the people to the location of their next village.
Seneca
The Onondaga, ("People of the Hills"), nation was both the geographical and political center of the early Iroquois Confederacy. According to the Peacemaker story, the confederacy’s Grand Council fires were to burn among the Onondaga, who became known as the “Keepers of the Central Fire” and were responsible for retaining the confederacy’swampum.
Tuscarora
Historically the Cayuga, ("People of the Great Swamp"), often allowed often allowed other groups to join their communities. Cayuga women cultivated corn, and Cayuga men hunted the plentiful game and fish of their traditional homeland, which stretched from the northern shore of theSt. Lawrence Riversouth to theFinger Lakesregion.
The Seneca, (“People of the Great Hill”), were the largest of the nations that made up the early Iroquois Confederacy. With eight clans, they were represented by eight sachems on the Great Council. Through war during the 17th century, the Seneca expanded their original territory between Seneca Lake and theGenesee Riverto encompass all of western New York state fromNiagara countysouth along theAllegheny RiverintoPennsylvania.
The final, late-coming member of the Iroquois Confederacy, theTuscarora, or Skarù∙ręʔ (“People of the Shirt”), did not join until 1722, after the Tuscarora migrated north fromNorth Carolina, where they had been frequently kidnapped and sold into slavery by the British. They settled in south-central New York. Many Tuscarora supported the colonists in the Revolution.
