Chapter 509 (1/2)

To be honest, for the Iroquois, the stone bear did not have such a complicated mood. His soul came from later generations, let alone the Iroquois. Any Indian tribe in this era is indifferent to him.

However, in how to treat the Iroquois, the stone bear must also respect the opinions of the majority of the Cherokee people.

There is no doubt that since the Iroquois settled in the Great Lakes region in the early 13th century after a long journey, and then began farming in the 14th century, the population of Iroquois has been greatly improved, and the strength of the whole Iroquois has also been greatly increased.

Before the 15th century, the Cherokees were actually a branch of the Iroquois.

The Iroquois are a typical matriarchal society, which pursues matriarchy. Therefore, the election of leaders, that is, chiefs, is very special for the Iroquois.

The chief of the Iroquois is not a son inheriting his father's career, because in the eyes of the Iroquois, the chief's son belongs to another clan, not his own clan. Therefore, after the death of the last chief, the tribe never elects the son of the previous chief as chief, but often elects his brother as chief, or his sister's son as chief. All people, men and women, will take part in the election.

In fact, the Cherokee ancestor was the son of a certain Iroquois chief. However, the son had no right to succeed to the chief of the Iroquois, so the Cherokee became a side branch of the Iroquois.

This is just like what longmaoniu tribe, pumpkin Bay tribe and big green hill tribe are to gaoshu tribe.

According to the Chinese custom, the Cherokee and Iroquois are actually a close family!

But later, at the end of the 15th century, the Cherokees, who had grown to a certain extent, were even driven out of the Great Lakes region by the Iroquois and the delavais

It's sad to say, but at that time, the Indian tribes in North America were so cruel.

The Iroquois united with the delavais to launch a war against the Cherokees. The clever Cherokees did not choose to resist, but moved south. It's a boon, but it keeps the Cherokee.

In the middle and later period of the 16th, that is, around 1570, several other tribes of the Iroquois, Mohawk, oneda, Onondaga, Seneca and kayuga, formed the Iroquois alliance, and their strength became stronger and stronger. Then, the powerful Iroquois alliance killed the delavais. Except for a few delavais who fled to the northern wilderness, the Great Lakes region was basically under the control of the Iroquois alliance, except for Lake Superior in the northwest was controlled by the ojebwa.

By the end of the 17th century, the Iroquois alliance had reached its peak. With the taskalla people joining the Iroquois alliance in 1722, the Iroquois alliance became the most powerful Aboriginal force in Northeast America and eastern Canada.

At present, the population of Iroquois League is close to 200000, which is the second largest tribal League in the whole new world of North America after the Kerry people living in the Midwest of Canada.

For such a tribe, the stone bear is not worried, not to mention that the Cherokee control such a large territory now, and the population under their control is close to 1.5 million. With the help of the fierce bear army alone, the stone bear is absolutely sure to beat out the excrement of the Iroquois.

However, the attitude of the tribe towards the Iroquois has to be considered.

Anyway, the Cherokee and the Iroquois are a real family. As like as two peas, the Cherokee people say exactly the same thing as the Iroquois.
