The Great League of the Five Nations

The League of the Five Nations was an agreement between Mohawk, Onondaga, Kejuga, Onyeda and Seneca. In one version the idea for the League came from an outsider called Deque no wide. The impact of the Great League was to stop violence between these nations but it meant other nations were forced to adapt. By the time the English arrived in the area, the confederacy included about 30 tribes with over 600 warriors.
