Detailed explanation-1: -The Iroquoi Tribes, also known as the Haudenosuanee, are known for many things. But they are best known for their longhouses. Each longhouse was home to many members of a Haudenosuanee family. The longhouse was the center of Iroquois life.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Iroquois (Haudenosaunee) Confederacy differed from other American Indian confederacies in the northeastern woodlands primarily in being better organized, more consciously defined, and more effective. The Iroquois used elaborately ritualized systems for choosing leaders and making important decisions.
Detailed explanation-3: -These people called themselves “Haudenosaunee” or “people of the long house". The name “Iroquois” is a French variant on a term for “snake” given these people by the Hurons. There were other tribes who spoke a similar language, but who were not part of the confederacy.
Detailed explanation-4: -According to the Iroquois creation story, the world was created when the pregnant Sky Woman fell from the floating island in the sky, down to the vast ocean underneath. Birds and fish already existed, and they helped Sky Woman create the Earth, by giving her soil to put on a giant turtle’s back.
