Answer 2

Answer: The Iroquois Confederacy

Explanation:

The Great Law of Peace, which is credited to Hiawatha, Jigonsaseh, and Deganawidah the Great Peacemaker, according to legend, is what gave rise to the Confederacy. The Six Nations/Haudenosaunee Confederacy influenced colonial politics in North America for about 200 years. Some academics have argued that this was because the Iroquois used European powers just as much as Europeans did, supporting the idea of the Middle Ground. Around 1700, the Iroquois Empire reached its height, spanning from what is now New York State north through what is now Ontario and Quebec along the lower Great Lakes-upper St. Lawrence, south on both sides of the Allegheny Mountains into what is now Virginia and Kentucky, and into the Ohio Valley.

The most popular term for the confederacy, Iroquois, has a murky history. In Samuel de Champlain's account of his voyage to Tadoussac in 1603 it first appears as "Irocois." The words "Erocoise," "Hiroquois," "Hyroquois," "Irecoies," "Iriquois," "Iroquaes," "Irroquois," and "Yroquois," all of which were spelled in early French, are also pronounced [irokwe] or [irokw]. There have been several competing ideas put up to explain the origin of this phrase, but none have been widely accepted. No such form is reported in any Indian language as a name for any Iroquoian group, and the word's true origin and meaning are unclear, according to Ives Goddard's 1978 writing.
