  Having worked directly with these communities, this is what I was taught, but I am happy to be corrected.

    While “Iroquoian” is still used as a technical linguistic category

    I’m guessing this won’t last for long, given some people already call the language family “Ogwehoweh” instead of “Iroquoian”. Example here.

        No worries, it was not the most clear joke.

        All jokes aside though, coincidentally I just finished reading Robin Wall Kimmerer’s “Braiding Sweetgrass”, which has reinvigorated my respect for the Haudenosaunee and their Three Sister’s. Such a great read! I’m a student of ecology at the moment, and I studied Social Anthropology years ago so it was double interesting.
