	Wikinfo \| Mythology
		Mythology figures prominently in most religions, and most mythology is tied to at least one religion.
		For the purposes of this article, therefore, we use the word "mythology" to refer to stories that, while they may or may not be strictly factual, reveal fundamental truths and insights about human nature, often through the use of archetypes.
		Stories from scripture are usually not referred to as mythology except in a pejorative sense, but one can speak of a Jewish mythology, a Christian mythology, or an Islamic mythology, in which one describes the mythic elements within these faiths without speaking to the veracity of the faith's tenets or claims about its history.

	Facts for Kids: Iroquois Indians (Haudenosaunee)
		Iroquois longhouses were up to a hundred feet long, and each one housed an entire clan (as many as 60 people.) Here is a photograph of an Iroquois longhouse, and here is a drawing of what a longhouse looked like on the inside.
		Iroquois men wore a gustoweh, which was a feathered cap with different insignia for each tribe (the headdress worn by the man in this picture has three eagle feathers, showing that he is Mohawk.) Iroquois women sometimes wore special beaded tiaras.
		Iroquois warriors often shaved their heads except for a scalplock or a crest down the center of their head (the style known as a roach, or a "Mohawk.") Sometimes they augmented this hairstyle with splayed feathers or artificial roaches made of brightly dyed porcupine and deer hair.

	Iroquois - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Confederacy was based, at the time of the arrival of the Europeans, in the northeastern U.S. in what is now upstate New York, as well as parts of Pennsylvania, Ontario, and Quebec.
		An alternate possible origin of the name Iroquois is reputed to come from a French version of a Huron (Wyandot) name—considered an insult—meaning "Black Snakes." The Iroquois were enemies of the Huron and the Algonquin, who were allied with the French, due to their rivalry in the fur trade.
		The Iroquois influence is not as great as [some historians] would like it to be, the framers simply did not revere or even understand much of Iroquois culture, and their influences were European or classical - not wholly New World.
