Unique Attributes of Each of the Five Tribes That Make Up the Iroquois
Nation and How They Benefited from Uniting


The Iroquois Nation is known as the Oldest Living Participatory Democracy on Earth. The current Iroquois Nation consists of six tribes, but the original five are the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, and Seneca. It is thought by some that the Iroquois Nation influenced to some degree our American forefathers as they formed the first representative democracy. Our interest lies with the first five tribes. What was unique about each tribe? What did they individually gain by uniting? Join us as we seek to answer these questions.
