1. The Iroquois adapted to their environment by making shelters and using fur to make clothes.
2. The temperatures and land might be very different in different places so it might affect what you wear and what you eat.

"The Iroquois people have inhabited the areas of Ontario and upstate New York for well over 4,000 years." This is explaining where and how they live. This is important because it helps us learn what they get from there and how they live in their environment.

# data[].attributes.body
The Iroquois adapted by setting up different jobs and made shelters. They also made clothes and gave people jobs to hunt. Where you live impacts how you live because if you live in a cold place you can't have a shelter where a lot of wind would go. And if its a hot place you can't take shelter in a place where there would be no air circulating. If you live in the mountains you get limited resources and its mostly animals because crops aren't usual in the mountains.

# data[].attributes.body
The Iroquois adapted to their environment by making the architecture of their longhouse suitable for their circumstances. Where they live impacts how they live because the place they live in is a cold climate.

# data[].attributes.body
The Iroquois adapted to their environment by making different shelter regarding on the season. When it is winter they made clothes out of fur to keep themselves warm. The Iroquois used their resources in the woods and mountains. Where you live impacts what you eat and how you act. If you live in a very ethnic city it is likely that you would eat that type of food. If you live in a crime filled city it is likely that you could be influenced to act badly.

Where you live could impact how you live in many different scenarios. One is that you can live by the water and eat a lot of fish, and if you don't live by the water you eat more meat.

The Iroquois adopted to their environment by using tree bark and making shelters out of them. They also hunted and farmed for their food. Where they lived impacted how they lived because if they lived by a lot of land; they would farm and hunt. If they lived my water, they would fish.

the Iroquois adapted to their environment by making special housing and clothing, such as moccasins, animal skins etc. where you live impacts how you live. for example if you live in the country side you will most likely farm. if you live in the suburban area you will most likely work in the city.

The Masssachusetts Mohawk Trail began as a Native American footpath used for trade, hunting, and social calling by five tribes, including the Pocumtuck and the Mohawk.

The Iroquois people have inhabited the areas of Ontario and upstate New York for well over 4,000 years.

Technically speaking, "Iroquois" refers to a language rather than a particular tribe. In fact, the Iroquois consisted of five tribes prior to European colonization. Their society serves as an outstanding example of political and military organization, complex lifestyle, and an elevated role of women.

Mohawk Indian chief Joseph Brant served as a spokesman for his people, a Christian missionary of the Anglican church, and a British military officer during the Revolutionary War.

Governance and War

Until the 1500s, the five tribes of the Iroquois devoted much energy toward fighting and killing each other. According to oral tradition, it was about this time that they came to their senses and united into a powerful confederation.

The five tribes designed quite an elaborate political system. This included a bicameral (two-house) legislature, much like the British Parliament and modern U.S. Congress. The representatives, or sachems, from the and tribes met in one house and those of the and Cayuga met in the other. The Onondaga sachems broke ties and had the power to veto decisions made by the others. There was an unwritten constitution that described these proceedings at least as early as 1590. Such a complex political arrangement was unknown in Europe at that time.

Although the tribes began to work together, they surely did not renounce war. They fought and captured other native tribes as well as wave after wave of European immigrants who presented themselves. They fought the early French and British settlers. During the French and Indian War they remained officially neutral, but would join either side to exploit an advantage. Both sides courted Iroquois support during the Revolution. As a result, there was a split in the Confederacy for the first time in over 200 years. Iroquois fought Iroquois once more.

Iroquois Society

The Iroquoi Tribes, also known as the Haudenosuanee, are known for many things. But they are best known for their longhouses. Each longhouse was home to many members of a Haudenosuanee family.

The longhouse was the center of Iroquois life. Archaeologists have unearthed longhouse remains that extend more than the length of a football field.

Agriculture was the main source of food. In Iroquois society, women held a special role. Believed to be linked to the earth's power to create life, women determined how the food would be distributed - a considerable power in a farming society.

Women were also responsible for selecting the sachems for the Confederacy. Iroquois society was matrilineal; when a marriage transpired, the family moved into the longhouse of the mother, and family lineage was traced from her.

The Iroquois society proved to be the most persistent military threat the European settlers would face. Although conquest and treaty forced them to cede much of their land, their legacy lingers. Some historians even attribute some aspects of the structure of our own Constitution to Iroquois ideas. In fact, one of America's greatest admirers of the Iroquois was none other than Benjamin Franklin.

The Iroquois comprised five native tribes that inhabited what is now Ontario and upstate New York. All spoke a variant of the iroquois language. The Iroqois possessed a suprisingly complex social and political structure.

Quote: "Technically speaking, "Iroquois" refers to a language rather than a particular tribe. In fact, the IROQUOIS consisted of five tribes prior to European colonization.

This is explaining their culture, how they live(adaption), their society organization and their hierarchy.

Until the 1500s, the five tribes of the Iroquois devoted much energy toward fighting and killing each other. According to ORAL TRADITION, it was about this time that they came to their senses and united into a powerful confederation. I think that is is important because it really shows how they lived before we came and how peaceful it was

"The longhouse was the center of Iroquois life" I chose this quote because longhouses are very important because almost Iroquois people live in a longhouse.

My quote was "In Iroquois society, women held a special role.

It shows how much power woman had.

The Iroquois Great Law of Peace shaped the U.S democracy by inspiring the U.S constitution to have laws influenced by the Iroquois Confederacy and the Great Law of peace. Also the Great seal of America, on the eagle's right talon, there are thirteen arrows based off a Iroquois quote

I think the most important line in the article is, Agriculture was the main source of food. "In Iroquois society, women held a special role. Believed to be linked to the earth's power to create life, women determined how the food would be distributed — a considerable power in a farming society". I think this line is important because, it shows that the Iroquois were special because of the women. The women were very powerful. It shows how important, determined and powerful women were in the Iroquois tribe.

"The representatives, or SACHEMS, from the SENECA and MOHAWK tribes met in one house and those of the ONEIDA and CAYUGA met in the other. The ONONDAGA sachems broke ties and had the power to veto decisions made by the others." I believe that Onondaga was like the leader of the rest of them. Seneca, Mohawk, Oneida, and Cayuga just thought of things and Onondaga had to chose if they liked it or not. Kind of like a hierarchy.

"Until the 1500s, the five tribes of the Iroquois devoted much energy toward fighting and killing each other." I chose it because it was "Oral Tradition" They fought and killed for power. I feel like they wanted to be a tribe that stood out more, I don't agree with it but I understand it.

The Iroquois Confederacy, founded by the Great Peacemaker in 11421, is the oldest living participatory democracy on earth2. In 1988, the U.S. Senate paid tribute with a resolution3 that said, "The confederation of the original 13 colonies into one republic was inﬂuenced by the political system developed by the Iroquois Confederacy.i chose this quote because it shows that the native americans gave there ideas to the the united states

# data[].attributes.body
The Iroquois Great Law of Peace shaped the U.S. democracy by making a truce between all of the nations. They made a speech that got all of the leaders hooked and got all of them to agree. The English colonizer Benjamin Franklin saw this as a good agreement and used the same speech. Since the speech made good points and agreements, naturally, a democracy was made in the U.S.

# data[].attributes.body
"Iroquois fought Iroquois once more." This stood out to me a lot because it proves that even though Native Americans stopped killing each other as a ritual after the 1500's, they still wanted to get an edge over each other when European Colonists came in to the Americas. Part of the French colonists worked with the Iroquis to fight other Iroquis. It is really conspicuous on how the Native American's betrayed themselves.

I noticed how most Native American families now are not doing to do their traditions as much as they used to do them way back when. I wonder why some of them pass on the tradition and some of them don't.

# data[].attributes.body
I noticed the Native Americans now still practiced and showed their families their traditions. I wonder why some of them didn't pass on the tradition.

# data[].attributes.body
I noticed that they all felt responsible to teach others about their culture. They want to keep it alive and growing. I wonder why some families do their traditions but others do not. I also wonder why they are more poor than some others. Shouldn't they be able to get a job just like everyone else with the same pay? Just because they are Native American doesn't mean they should be treated differently.

One thing that I noticed is that when they go to school they weren't allowed to do many things. I wonder why the schools that they went to didn't allow them to do anything with their religion/traditions.

I noticed how most native Americans are in poverty and cant share their culture. I wonder what was the reason to send native american children into boarding school so that they would not be able to practice their culture.

# data[].attributes.body
I noticed that there weren't a lot of native americans, and they looked very hesitant to share there culture. I also noticed that younger generational kids don't look to there culture than the older generation does. I wonder why they are in a public school, why aren't they in the camps? Why weren't they celebrating there traditions as much as before? Are they being persecuted if they celebrate there traditions?

# data[].attributes.body
I noticed that Iroquois were still alive. I thought that they were not because schools kept teaching us about them as if they were all dead. I wonder why their culture and their background is never talked about. I also wonder why textbooks don't tell us the absolute truth like the sad parts about Native Americans and pilgrims instead of all of the happy parts.
