Six Nations is a term that refers to a group of indigenous people in North America, consisting of the Mohawk, Onondaga, Oneida, Cayuga, Seneca, and Tuscarora nations. However, there are several other synonyms that can be used for this term. Some of these synonyms include the Haudenosaunee, meaning the "people of the longhouse," or the Iroquois Confederacy, which is derived from the French word "iroquois." Additionally, the term Five Nations is sometimes used as well, as it refers to the original group of nations prior to the inclusion of the Tuscarora in the confederacy. Overall, these synonyms all refer to the same group of indigenous nations and their rich history and culture.
