The Iroquois people have inhabited the areas of Ontario and upstate New York for well over 4,000 years. Technically speaking, “Iroquois” refers to a language rather than a particular tribe. In fact, the Iroquois consisted of five tribes prior to European colonization.
When did the Iroquois settle?
The Iroquois Confederacy or Haudenosaunee is believed to have been founded by the Great Peacemaker at an unknown date estimated between 1450 and 1660, bringing together five distinct nations in the southern Great Lakes area into “The Great League of Peace”.
Where is the Iroquois tribe located today?
The heart of the Iroquois homeland is located in what is now New York State. Many Iroquois still live there today and across the border in Canada in Ontario and Quebec. Others were forced to move west to Oklahoma or Wisconsin during the 1800’s.
