Hopefully my formatting works!
Also I have this large list of Iroquois names sorted by which group they were part of. If you find that the Iroquois list needs expanding, you may find some potential names here:
If you want more endonymic names I can see about pulling those up as well.
This is a great list you've compiled... much better than the original. Much of it strikes me as fine as-is -- however, parts of it highlight ambiguity and imprecision in the original civ 5 design choices, as well as misconceptions in the general american/canadian/euro-centric understanding: for example, you've listed 'iroquois' as the origin of a few names in your longer list -- however this is not the 'iroquois' that the game intends to represent. Hochelaga, for example, is the name of an old settlement at what is now commonly known as Montreal.. this was a name predominantly used by wendat-huron people... in euro-centric academic anthropology, the wendat-huron are considered an "iroquoiian" culture, however they are/were
not part of Hiawatha's confederacy. That's not to say there might not have been confederacy members living there at times, and perhaps referring to it respectfully by the huron name, however confederacy-members also have their own distinct name for this place. Ultimately the Huron and other non-confederacy "iroquoiians" have very their own distinct forms of governance and customs, and should be thought of as separate "civs" in the context of civ 5. Including them as part of the "iroquois" civ is akin to merging the english/french all into one civ due to norman influences they hold in common.
To better represent what civ 5 refers to as the Hiawatha-led 5/6 nations, consider adjusting iroquois civ-name to "Haudenosaunee" (though anglicized slightly, this is the most common version of the proper autonym of the people of the Kanonsonionwe, aka "Iroquois" confederacy)... "Iroquois" is derived from a rival nation's pejorative (for that matter, 'mohawk' is as well), adapted by the French and later other colonizers. Its use here is akin to naming the Shoshone as the "snake indians". Though it is well recognized perhaps in american pop-culture, as discussed above "iroquois" is also used to represent nations that were not members of the Kanonsonionwe, and not followers of the Kaianerekowa ("great law of peace"). The historical background described in civ 5 properly refers to the people of the Kanonsonionwe and not these other "iroquoiians". The best-fit for Hiawatha's civ name is "Haudenosaunee"
Anyway, if you don't mind, I'd like to reorganize your list a little, using the following structure: names 1-10 as 2 names each from pre-contact/early colonial era of the original 5 nations of the confederacy; 11-22 as 2 names each of the mid-colonial era confederacy that came to include the Tuscarora; 23-40 as a list of the more prominent, late-colonial and contemporary settlements of the confederacy nations, likely weighted most heavily with Seneca & Mohawk settlements (these are/were largest contingents of the confederacy through much of its existence). Thoughts?
