Detailed explanation-1: -An established group, they settled near lakes and weren’t as nomadic as other Native American tribes. They did move every ten years or so not to deplete the wildlife of one area too quickly. The Iroquois mainly lived in the regions that were easy to defend, like those close to hills and water.
Detailed explanation-2: -Many of the Iroquois people allied with the British during the American Revolutionary War, particularly warriors from the Mohawk, Cayuga, Onondaga and Seneca nations. These nations had longstanding trade relations with the British and hoped they might stop American encroachment on their lands.

Detailed explanation-4: -After their defeat, the British ceded Iroquois territory without consultation, and many Iroquois had to abandon their lands in the Mohawk Valley and elsewhere and relocate to the northern lands retained by the British.
