Iroquois

The Iroquois were a warlike people

It united several Iroquois-speaking tribes: Cayuga, Mohawk, Onondaga, Onaida. They occupied the central part of the USA: Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois. Most of the farmers were women. Men went hunting, fishing, and fighting. The Iroquois lived in villages of up to 3,000 people. Quite often the whole village moved to a new place with more fertile land. There are about 35,000 Iroquois people in the United States at the moment.
