The statement that is NOT true about the Iroquois is:
O They may have been descendants of the Mississippian people.
The Iroquois are not believed to be descendants of the Mississippian people. The Iroquois people are Native American tribes who lived in the northeastern part of what is now the United States and parts of Canada. They were known for forming a powerful alliance of initially five and later six groups called nations. These nations included the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, Seneca, and later the Tuscarora.
The Iroquois Confederacy had a system of governance that involved a great council composed of representatives from each member nation. This council made important decisions and maintained unity among the nations. Additionally, the Iroquois were known for their longhouses, which were typically around 100 feet in length and were constructed using materials like elm bark and wood, rather than cedar.
Therefore, the notion that the Iroquois may have been descendants of the Mississippian people is not accurate based on historical and anthropological research.
