Later on, about in the 1650’s, they started to push back their living into the area between the Great Lakes and the Ohio River. To get this land they fought to push other native american tribes out. The reason why the Iroquois wanted more land was because they needed to hunt for deer and beaver, and the land that the Iroquois got was a better area to hunt those animals. ]]> 2016-10-06 15:51:32 UTC https://padlet.com/3127310/skzvsuc7dqng/wish/128869847 Shelter 3129764 https://padlet.com/3127310/skzvsuc7dqng/wish/128869850 The Iroquois main type of shelter was the longhouse. The longhouse could be up to 300 feet long. Although the average longhouse was 60 feet long, 16 feet wide, and 15 feet high. The typical Iroquois longhouse was made from elm tree bark and bent tree saplings. Most of the time there were windows and a door made by cutting rectangular holes in the longhouse. In the winter animal fur was used for insulation.]]> 2016-10-06 15:51:33 UTC https://padlet.com/3127310/skzvsuc7dqng/wish/128869850 Food 3129052 https://padlet.com/3127310/skzvsuc7dqng/wish/128871622      Corn was one of the most important crops to the Iroquois. They cooked the corn down into a porridge, and then they could mix it with beans and squash. Dried corn kernels were ground down to make flour for bread.
     From the fall harvest, squash and pumpkins were cut into strips and dried for food in the winter.
   For meat, the Iroquois caught lots of fish. They also hunted birds, small animals,  and large hooved animals.
   This Indian Tribe also gathered nuts and berries. They gathered walnuts, acorns, butternuts, chesnuts, berries and several types of roots.

Their main god was The Great Spirit.]]> 2016-10-06 15:58:52 UTC https://padlet.com/3127310/skzvsuc7dqng/wish/128872733 Clothing 3126591 https://padlet.com/3127310/skzvsuc7dqng/wish/128888586 Normally made from tanned deerskin,men wore leggings and breechcloths while women wore long skirts.
