IROQUOIS
Iroquois is an easily recognized name, but like the
names of many tribes, it was given them by their
enemies. The Algonquin called them the Iroqu
(Irinakhoiw) "rattlesnakes."
After the French added the Gallic suffix "-ois" to
this insult, the name became Iroquois. The
Iroquois call themselves Haudenosaunee
meaning "people of the long house."
Location! Location! Location!
The original homeland of the Iroquois was in upstate New
York between the Adirondack Mountains and
Niagara Falls. Through conquest and migration, they
gained control of most of the northeastern United States
and eastern Canada.
At its maximum in 1680, their empire extended west from the north shore of Chesapeake
Bay through Kentucky to the junction of the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers; then north
following the Illinois River to the south end of Lake Michigan; east across all of lower
Michigan, southern Ontario and adjacent parts of southwestern Quebec; and finally
south through northern New England west of the Connecticut River through the
Hudson and upper Delaware Valleys across Pennsylvania back to the Chesapeake.
