I am somewhat conversant about the Iroquois and their fascinating history. Not only were they in on the very first meeting of the colonies to discuss forming a new country, the US Articles of Confederation was loosely based upon their own government. NYS could easily have turned French without their support. Many of them were eventually run off to Canada but their Seneca tribe runs three casinos in WNY. They are also fairly litigious with NYS about pressing their treaty rights. Our shared US history was often about conning them into treaties to move them out of the way of settlers and later breaking that treaty.
