Originally made from five Native American tribes: the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga and Seneca, they were later joined by the Tuscarora. The confederacy’s constitution is the Great Law of Peace. According to the tradition, the Iroquois people came together to live in peace and harmony after Hiawatha, a mourning Onondaga chief, joined a man who was known as the Peacemaker in pursuing unity among the Iroquois.\n
