__**Iroquois Tribe Background**__ I come from the Iroquois tribe. We consist of a couple different tribes, they include, Seneca, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga as well as Mohawk. My tribe lives in longhouses which are made with **elm** bark and they cover long poles of our ** longhouses. ** Our houses can hold many people; some can hold as many as one clan or around 60 people. These specific houses take a while to build and we usually stay in the same one for years or even our entire life. I lived in the same one since I was young and up until I fell from the **sky world.**
