WebQuest Presentation: Iroquois League
EDU 505 (H. Yang/Fall 12): Integrating Tech and the WebBy: Roy Howell
Introduction• The Iroquois League (as know by the French) also known as the Hau-
de-no-sau-nee formed some time in the late 1500s in what is now upstate NY (Syracuse area). Before the tribes joined many Iroquois were often at war with each other. As time passed the tribes were brought together by a few likeminded natives, and Six Nations came together to form a relationship that the Original 13 Colonies and the forefathers of the United States were greatly influenced by. You will be in charge of searching multiple sources to increase your knowledge on the Iroquois, and look for similarities/deference's among their way of life.– This WebQuest could be modified for any age group. Overall I have geared this
WebQuest/PowerPoint to meet the needs of 4th-12th graders. – Main Goal(s): educate on history of Iroquois people/culture, and
compare/contrast government.
Task• Think of yourself as a young historian trying to spread
knowledge on the native people of NY. Looking back at the Iroquois, what would you write or talk about that you feel is most important? – How is the Iroquois way of life similar to the 13 original colonies? How
did they govern themselves?– What cultural aspects stick out to you?
Process• You will gather as much information as you can on two main
subject areas already mentioned (culture, government). In order to accomplish this you will search all of the resources provided. Carefully read through each link and take notes that relate to the subject. Remember, compare and contrast the Iroquois and European settlers (13 Colonies).

Evaluation/Conclusion• I would evaluate this WebQuest on individual or group
standards. Overall, I’m looking for each grade level mentioned to make a correlation between the native people of the Iroquois League and the government chosen by the original 13 colonies when independence was declared. I would want the students to identify one of the oldest “participatory democracies” known to mankind, and how collaboration/participation affected the outcome of the nations. I would also be looking for an analysis of culture differences (food, entertainment, etc.). This information could be explained in spoken words, writing, or even a digital presentation. Grading this project would rely on the amount of effort and organization/creativity put in.
End Conclusion• As a result of this WebQuest students will understand that the
Iroquois agreed to follow the same set of laws originally formed. The longhouse was a way of life for the Iroquois, and democracy explains some of the main ideals of the natives. Tradition and culture are most important when discussing the League.
