Question

The Iroquois were unique among indigenous peoples in that they did what?

Answer 1

Answer:

Iroquois sustained themselves through hunting, gathering, fishing, and farming. Women were responsible for the crops. They managed the growth and harvest of crops, and settlements moved every 10 to 30 years due to soil losing its nutrients. The Iroquois people carry out six major ceremonies during the year. These are Maple, Planting, Strawberry, Green Corn, Harvest, and Mid-Winter or New Year's festival. These religious ceremonies are often tribal affairs and are concerned primarily with farming, curing illness, and thanksgiving. The five tribes of the Iroquois nation all spoke a very similar dialect. The name 'Iroquois' refers to the language, not the people themselves. They all spoke a version of Iroquois. This is why they were able to communicate so easily. The Iroquoi Tribes, also known as the Haudenosuanee, are known for many things. But they are best known for their longhouses. Each longhouse was home to many members of a Haudenosuanee family. The longhouse was the center of Iroquois life.
