Among all the Native American tribes, the Iroquois people are some of the most well documented Native Americans in history. Indigenous to the northeast region of what is now the United States and parts of Canada, they were among some of the earliest contacts Europeans had with the native tribes. And yet they have remained a constant source of mystery.

The name Iroquois, like many Native American tribal names, is not a name the people knew themselves by, but a word applied to them by their enemies the Huron, who called them Iroquo (rattlesnake) as an insult. The French later added the suffix ois. Moreover, the Iroquois are not even a single tribe but a confederation of several different tribal nations that include the Seneca, Oneida, Onondaga, Mohawk, Cayuga and the Tuscarora, who didn't become part of the union until the early 1700's. The name Haudenosaunee (pronounced ho-den-oh-SHO-nee) is the name the people use for themselves, which translates as the People of the Longhouse. They are also commonly known as the Six Nations.
