Iroquois League
A historically powerful northeast Native American confederacy in North America
Real World Example
The Iroquois League was a powerful alliance of six Native American tribes in the northeastern United States, formed before European contact. It was important because it united the tribes to maintain peace and strength against common enemies, helping them manage resources and conflicts. The League responded to the need for cooperation and mutual defense among different groups with shared interests. Today, the Iroquois League's principles can be seen in how communities and nations form alliances to address common issues, like climate change or trade. For example, the United Nations is a modern version of such cooperation, where countries work together, much like the Iroquois tribes did, to solve global problems for the betterment of all.
