Hello Everyone I would like to correct something I said earlier, > I believe the the Delaware's, were not part of the Iroquois federation, but the > Shawnee were. > Neither of those tribes were part of the Iroquois Federation. The tribes that made up the confederation are, the Mohawks, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, and Seneca, later the Tuscarora nation join in about 1722. All of those tribes spoke the Iroquoian language.Best wishes to the group Warren Lambing -- Lambing Family Genealogy http://pages.prodigy.com/BYRL86A/lambing.htm
