Iroquois+WebQuest

__**Introduction**__ Native Americans occupied the Northern Hemisphere long before "America" was discovered. The Iroquois Confederacy specifically occupied New York State, and later, parts of North Carolina. Your journey throughout this Web Quest will help you and your classmates to answer the question, "Who were the Iroquois?" We will be studying the Iroquois and comparing their constitution and beliefs with America's.
