Oneidas, Onondagas, Cayuga, and the Senecas, and later the Tuscarora) that congealed together to form a political confederacy. Before the arrival of the Europeans in the late 15th century, the Native American groups fought against one another frequently. They were caught in a perpetual and never-ending cycle of wars of retribution. This confederacy was created to maintain peace between all five nations and to be aligned against foreign invasions. Becoming one of the most powerful Native American groups in the northeast, the confederacy relied on a council of sachems instead of a chiefdom system. The goals of the Iroquois Confederacy were: to keep lasting peace between

During the French and Britain‘s conflicts, the Iroquois Confederacy consisted of six nations: the Mohawk, Seneca, Cayuga, Onondaga, Oneida, and Tuscarora. Although, I’m sure all of these nations have interesting backgrounds, I’ve decided to find out more about the Cayuga nation. The Cayuga nation has a very interesting culture, which includes the food they eat and the religion they’ve chosen to practice.

The Iroquois are a group of native americans.The Iroquois are divided into 5 dans. The Mohawk, Seneca, Oneida, Onondaga, and Cayuga tribes. Later a sixth nation, the Tuscarora tribe, joined the confederation.

The haudenosaunee or people of the longhouse known as the Six nations or the Iroquois, they are members of the confederacy of Aboriginal nations known as the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. When the tuscarora joined the confederacy early in the 18th century, it mostly known as the Six nations.

There are many histories about the Mohawk because of some of the things they did. One of the main history that have been recorded was joining the Iroquois confederacy because it reunited six of the most powerful tribes so they can stop the war and have peace (Ryan F. Marla and Linda Schmittroth 8). The five tribes that united is Mohawk, Seneca, Oneida, Onondaga, and Cavugatrie. Later on the Tuscarora joined the confederacy and made it six tribes that united. All of these happen during English , French, Spain people settle in the New World (Alchin Linda). The Native tribes joined together was to have the whole map of North America, so they can strategize if they were attacked by the White man (Loretta Hall). During the French and Indian War there were many different Indian tribes that joined sides, Mohawk at that time joined the British because, the British told them that they can still have their land if they fought with them. After the war, they signed a Treaty of Canandaigua so they can move to Canada. Some of the Mohawk people moved to Canada and some of them stay in North America (Alchin Linda). This is the map of the six Iroquois Confederacy in figure 1

The English colonists between the time period of 1744 and 1748 were involved in clashes with the French known as King George 's War. In the time following King George 's War the affiliation between the English, French, and Iroquois shattered. After King George 's War, the Iroquois handed out trading concessions in the interior to English merchants which caused the French to have some concern. The French had believed that the English were going to use the concessions as a part of their plan to expand into their territories. In response to this, the French began to build fortresses in the Ohio Valley in which the English thought was a hazard to them and planned for military action.  The Iroquois could have prevented the downfall of the

The picture that depicts homes in the cliffs were built by the Anasazi who lived in the Southwest (Four Corners) culture region and the long houses were built by the Iroquois who lived in the Great Lakes (New York) culture region. The Anasazi modified their environment by irrigating the desert, building roads, and by building homes into the cliff because they needed to be able to farm in the dry desert, travel and trade, and also be able to defend themselves from their warlike neighbors. The Iroquois, however, modified their environment by clearing land to farm and building the long houses as they did not have to defend against as many attacks. These two different people chose to modify their environments differently because not only were

The Iroquois lived in North America. They were divided into 6 groups called Nations. These Nations were known as Seneca, Cayuga, Oneida, Onondaga, Tuscarora, and Mohawk. They lived in longhouses which we like modern day apartment buildings. The longhouses fit up to 25 families in there! Wow that sure is a lot! The longhouses were surrounded by wooden fences to keep out wild animals and trespassers. The Three Sisters (Corn, Beans, Squash) were some foods that the Iroquois ate. Also the Iroquois hunted and fished for their food. They hunted Deer, Beaver, Geese, and other

As there are many differences and similarities between the Iroquois League and the European Union, there was one main thing that connected them and that was peace. No matter how trivial it may seem, it was a big deal. And no matter how not advanced in technology the Iroquois League was, the European Union paid attention to them, and this is proved by Benjamin Franklin choosing the Iroquois League as the base of his report of democracy in 1754. The Iroquois League and the European Union are two different similar things

Dekanawidah, someone who travelled from village to village to urge their residents to stop fighting and join together, establishes the Iroquois Confederacy. The document was originally, not a document at all. The Iroquois were bound together by the Great Binding Law (or Great Law of Peace), which was an oral recitation passed down from generation to generation. The memories of these speeches were recorded in wampum shells, which allowed the Iroquois Constitution to be written down in the nineteenth century. Through the translation that is provided by Arthur C. Parker, it can be inferred that the Iroquois had very close-knit ties with the flora and fauna that surrounded

was by Native Americans around 3,000 years ago. The Iroquois nation ultimately developed into a well-organized cooperative of five different tribes and inhabited the northern mountains from approximately 1300 BC. Eventually large populations of the Iroquois moved south and evolved into what would become the Cherokee nation of the southern Appalachians. By the mid 1500’s, there was random contact with Europeans mostly involving the fur trade. As the Europeans, inhabitants of what were now British colonies, migrated toward less inhabited areas of the continent, it became obvious that an easy route to the frontier was to travel the mountain ranges from north to southwest – from Pennsylvania to the valleys of western North Carolina (Gale).

Andrew Jackson was said to be a divergent president in many ways, especially for his unique background compared to the wealthy ones of the previous presidents. He started off as an orphan and made his way up to becoming a general in the military, then became a frontier and started working in office soon later. Jackson’s presidency was held during an age known as the Age of the Common Man where he was determined to always do what was best for the common people and protect them from the powers of the rich and the privileged. With his success as a populist in his own Jacksonian Democracy, Jackson was able to seduce the American people but frighten the political and economic elite. Although Jackson had good intentions with what he wanted to accomplish

The Dutch gave an influential tide to both the Natives and the French colonists because they created Fort Orange along the Hudson River, the Dutch saw the French as enemy`s, because they had better supplies like weapons and tools to gain better alliances and trading partners. The French and Iroquois who knew that they would lose their Dutch suppliers to the northern tribes who had better fur pelts. Hoping that with war the Dutch and northern tribes would remain separated, the French and Iroquois decided not to make

In 1742 the chief of Onondaga of the Iroquois Confederacy knew that his land that the people shared would become more valuable than it has ever been. (Doc B)The reason for this was because the “white people” also known as the Americans wanted the land of the chief. The feelings of the Chief result in complaining to the representatives of Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia,

Life in the spring of 1838 was not pleasant for Atsadi and his family living in North Carolina with his small Cherokee tribe. It was a time of hardship and sadness,for his family as well as the rest of his Cherokee tribe were being forced to emigrate from their home in North Carolina to Indian reserves in Oklahoma on order of President Andrew Jackson.
