Iroquois
The Iroquois are the most well known tribe in their entire region. They were dominantly warlike, and defended an impressive plot of land. They had a diverse farming setup which enabled them to expand rapidly. They had an especially bad relationship with the neighboring Algonquian tribes. But they also had a quarrel with their supposed French allies in 1609, labeled the Beaver Wars. (this supposedly stopped the French from invading would be American land in the later years). The war also included 3 rival tribes. But even so, they managed to force the 3 tribes into submission.
