These five nations are the original members of the Iroquois Confederacy, a powerful alliance in the Northeast. The five nations are Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, and Seneca. They formed this confederacy to coordinate defense, law, and governance among themselves, with Onondaga often serving as the political center and Mohawk guarding the eastern frontier. In 1722 the Confederacy welcomed the Tuscarora, making it six nations, but the traditional list of the Five Nations refers to these five groups. The other options include groups that were not part of the five nations (for example, Cherokee and Erie) or treat the Confederacy as a single nation rather than a coalition of distinct nations.
