The Haudenosaunee speak a common Iroquoian language among all Six Nations, but each nation has a distinctive dialect.
Remember Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, Seneca and Tuscarora are not Haudenosauneewords. Our true names help us associate with the places that our ancestors lived and represent a distinctive connection to place.
The Haudenosaunee are culturally and linguistically related to the Wendat (Huron), Petun (Tobacco), Wenro, Neutral, Erie, Susquehannock, and Cherokee Nations.
