Who are the Iroquois?

  1. A European explorer group

  2. A confederation of First Nations from the Great Lakes region

  3. A French military regiment

  4. A British trading company

The correct answer is: A confederation of First Nations from the Great Lakes region

The Iroquois were a confederation of five (later six) different Native American nations, including the Mohawk, Onondaga, Seneca, Oneida, and Cayuga that were based around the Great Lakes region in North America. The Iroquois were not a European explorer group, as they were a native group. They were also not a French military regiment or British trading company. The Iroquois Confederation was a powerful and influential group that played a significant role in the colonial history of the Americas.
