Did and do the Iroquois live in New York?

The answer is yes. The Iroquois are an Iroquoian-speaking confederacy of Native Americans and First Nations peoples. They were originally based in upstate New York in the valleys of the Mohawk, Oswego, and Genesee Rivers. The Iroquois created a powerful political and military confederacy, the Iroquois League or Haudenosaunee, in the 16th century. The League was formed by five nations: the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, and Seneca. The Tuscarora joined the League in the 18th century, making it a six-nation confederacy. The Iroquois were influential in the history of the Northeastern Woodlands and the Great Lakes region of North America. They played a significant role in the French and Indian War and the American Revolutionary War. Today, the Iroquois still reside in New York and have reservations in the state.
