Native Americans #1

 The various native American tribes were an important factor in the development of the British (and French) colonies in North America, and in the wars between them, and the later American Revolution.


Perhaps the most important was the Six Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy.

The name they used for themselves was the Haudnosaunee  ("People of the Longhouse", after their characteristic dwellings) Confederacy, 

I have, entirely arbitrarily, assigned this unit as being of the Onadaga nation.

The date of origin of the  Confederacy in uncertain, but was most probably somewhere between 1570 and 1600, and was composed of the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, and Seneca nations. 




In 1722,the Tusacarora nation, which had migrated Northward top escape the expansions of the Southern colonies, joined the Confederacy. 

I have arbitrarily designated this unit as being of the Tuscarora. The figures are by Perry Miniastures.
