Some groups can be found in Wisconsin and Oklahoma. Iroquois family history is traced through the mother’s family. Throughout their history, women have owned property and have been treated as near equals with men. The Iroquois have a strong oral tradition. In the past they used beads made of shell to communicate ideas and keep records. Symbols continue to carry important meaning in the culture. Author Profile – The Iroquois
