However when you are writing your information you need to use your own words. It looks like a lot of the stuff you wrote was copy and pasted from different things you read. I would like to see these things written using your own words so you can explain them to the class when you present your project. To Mr. M we never copy and paste it .Mateo I agree
The Iroquois people carry out six major ceremonies during the year. These are Maple, Planting, Strawberry, Green Corn,Harvest, and Mid-Winter. These religious ceremonies are mostly about farming, curing illness and thanksgiving.
.The Iroquois believed in an afterlife and that their spirit would join the Great Spirit in the place where the Great Spirit lived, if the Iroquois honoured the Great Spirit and lived a good life.Each ceremony includes an opening and closing prayer as well as dancing and songs.
Traditionally, the Iroquois` lived in villages surrounded by a fence made from sharp poles. .
Each longhouse contained one clan, thats about 20 families! Four families shared one fire. The elder females in a clan were all related.
Inside there were two storeys. The sleeping area was at the top and the common was on the bottom floor. Mats and screens separated areas for each family.
They lived in longhouses. These homes were made from wooden poles covered in elm bark, sometimes tied with deer tendons. The houses were windowless but did have holes in the top to allow fire smoke to escape.
In the winter these holes were covered up with hide. Each longhouse had two entries:one at each end of the building
In the summer, Iroquoian clothing was light. The men wore a cloth tied around the waist goes down to the thigh and goes up again because they did not have pants. They also wore long sleeveless shirts that went down to the thighs, while the women wore a dress or skirt. People went barefoot or wore short moccasins made of braided corn husks or skins that had already been worn so that they were softer.In the winter, they wore fringed deerskin shirts. Sometimes men wore kilts and caps that were covered with feathers. Iroquois women wore long deerskin skirts and leggings. In the winter, they wore fringed capes as blouses.
They were apart of five different tribes, Seneca, Cayuga, Onondaga, Oneida, and Mohawk.
The British lost to the Iroquois in a war.The long houses can fit 20 or more families.
Lance For Iroquois hunters, who made hunting a daily practice, the lance was a useful tool that also doubled as a weapon of war. The Iroquois used lances that were quite long, which they could use from atop a horse to strike or knock down an opponent (or animal, if hunting). The lance also served a protective purpose, as it kept opponents at a distance. To enhance the lance, the Iroquois might dress it up with feathers or even scalps, taken from fallen enemies. The scary sight served as a threatening method as well as decoration.
