the English as the Six Nations.
(French, Dutch and British colonists in both Canada and the
Thirteen Colonies recognized a need to gain favor with the
Iroquois people, who occupied a significant portion of lands

Iroquois migrated to Canada, forced out of New York because
of hostility to the British allies.)
