As the title says, I'm wondering what the Iroquois / Haudenosaunee called their homeland or territory?
For examples; I know that the Powhatan called their homeland Tsenacommacah, the Navajo called their homeland Dinétah, the Tlingit called their homeland Lingít Aaní, etc. However, despite all of my attempts at looking it up online, I have yet to discover what the Iroquois called their homeland.
Did they have a separate name for their homeland or was Haudenosaunee used for both the name of the league and it's land? If they did have a separate name for their homeland equivalent to Tsenacommacah or Dinétah, did each member of the league have a different name for it or did they all call it by the same name?
Regardless, thanks in advance!
