The economy of the Iroquois, as encountered by early European settlers, was based on a collective system of production that integrated agriculture with hunting and gathering. This economic structure was shared across the tribes of the Iroquois Confederacy, a political alliance of initially five tribes (Seneca, Cayuga, Onondaga, Oneida, and Mohawk), later joined by the Tuscarora, forming the Six Nations.
