The Iroquois fought against neighboring Indians for territory, and also battled the French, English, and Dutch for control over the fur trade.…

    The Iroquois are an American Indian confederacy of New York originally consisting of the Cayuga, Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Seneca, and Tuscarora tribes.
