Here's a link to the Haudenosaunee Home Page. It is the official source of news and information from the "traditional leadership of the Seneca, Cayuga, Onondaga, Oneida, Mohawk and Tuscarora Nations." The word means "people building a long house," and it refers not only to a traditional type of dwelling but also a "a way of life where the many native nations live in peace under one common law."
In English, the Haudenosaunee are usually known as the Iroquois. Some historians believe the Iroquois confederation was an inspiration for the federal U.S. government.
