Iroquoian peoples
The Iroquoian peoples, also rarely referred to as Nadoueks, are an ethnolinguistic group of peoples in eastern North America. Their traditional territory, sometimes referred to by scholars as Iroquoia, stretches from the mouth of the St. Lawrence River in the north, to the Cape Fear River in the south. Now they are distributed throughout Canada and the United States as far west as Oklahoma. Some Iroquoian-speaking peoples are the member nations of the Haudenosaunee, Wendat, Tionontate and Neutral confederacies. Other peoples include the Erie, Wenro, Susquehannock, Cherokee and Meherrin. There is archaeological evidence for Iroquoian peoples in the area around present-day New York state by approximately 500 to 600 AD. Their distinctive culture seems to have developed by about 1000 AD.
