Players include the Iroquois confederate council, each of the individual nations-Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, Seneca, Tuscarora-individual villages and communities, Dutch, English, French colonial governments, individual colonial or provincial governments, federal governments of the United States and Canada and individual states and provinces.6.There is much controversy over the date of the origin of the League of the Iroquois.Dating ranges from 1142 to the early to mid-sixteenth century.There seems to be agreement, however, that it was in place before contact with Europeans.See
