A. a defense alliance of Eastern Woodland nations.
The Iroquois League, also known as the Haudenosaunee or the Five Nations (later Six Nations) was an alliance of Native American tribes located in the northeastern woodlands of North America. It consisted of the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga and Seneca nations with the Tuscarora joining later. The league was formed for mutual defense, diplomacy and governance, fostering peace among member nations and providing a framework for decision-making through a system of councils and representatives.
