The Iroquois Confederacy
|
The northeast shore of Onondaga Lake has traditionally been
recognized as the site of the founding of the Iroquois Confederacy
in the
late 16th century. Hiawatha, revered by the Iroquois as
"the Peacemaker," was responsible for brining together the Five
Nations
in a political and military league. The Confederation
allowed
the Iroquois to develop the most sophisticated political
system in
North America by the time European colonization began.
The military power of the Iroquois expanded as well. At its peak
in
the late 17th century, the Confederacy was able to assert itself
over native peoples from New England to the Mississippi and from
the
St. Lawrence Valley to Virginia. The Iroquois remained a
significant power in North America until their defeat in the American
Revolution. The strength of the Confederacy forged by Hiawatha is
still evident. Despite military defeat and the loss of their
lands, the Iroquois
nations continue to hold council in Onondaga County as they
have for nearly 400 years.
