The League of the Iroquois was a confederacy of five Native North American nations; the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, and Seneca. The Five Nations originally occupied land that is now part of New York State. The Tuscarora joined the League in 1722 and numerous other nations have been incorporated into the League since then. The League was a major player in the political events of northeastern North America during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Traditionally, the Iroquois were horticulturalists and hunters. Their basic economic unit was a matrilineally extended family group of women, their spouses, and their children occupying a longhouse.  In the late twentieth century members of the Six Nations live in numerous reservations and reserves, primarily in New York State and Ontario and Quebec Provinces in Canada.
