Culture

• The Iroquois believed the creator or Great
  Spirit, made the world. They also believed that
  almost all natural things were under the care of
  spirits. There were spirits of the wind, clouds,
  rain, trees, plants, medicines, and more.
• A ceremony for the Iroquois is when someone died
  in their family or a relative. When a crucial
  chief died, the whole league
• made a ceremony.

Shelter
Our tribe house is a longhouse. It looks like a
narrow wooden house that Iroquois live in that is
what a longhouse is. Servile clans lived in a
longhouse at once. Iroquois traditionally lived
in bark covered longhouses. Iroquois also lived
in wigwams, dugouts, and longhouses made out of
twigs and leaves.

Food

• The Iroquois fish, plant crops called the Three
  Sisters, eat bear, deer, and muskrats. They hunt
  them and use bow and arrows to catch them.
• They grew the plants from water and sunshine and
  they also had to have perfect weather for the
  plants to grow
• The men cleared the land because the women
  stayed inside and did the cleaning and cooking.
• The land was cleared by the tools of cropping.
• The girls helped the mothers make pottery and
  the boys helped the men hunt and do the crops.

• Every bodies clothing was handmade. Youd wear
  deer skins that the women had tanned, cut, and
  sewed. Like other Native Americans, the Oneida
  used what nature provided and fashioned it for
  their needs.
• Women wore long skirts that reached almost to
  their ankles. Their skirts were decorated with
  beads or porcupine quills dyed red, blue, and
  yellow. Sometimes women wore leggings under
  their skins. On top they wore a deer skin vest
  or blouse.
• Men wore kilt-like skirts almost to their knees
  over leggings. They, too, wore blouses or vests
  made or decorated deer skins.

Contribution

• The contribution of the Iroquois is the
  transportation they used were canoes and boats
  and they also walked across the land.
• The canoe looks like a banana and floats in the
  water and its smaller than a boat.
