Question - 204

Today's question is courtesy Swapnaa. The first map shows the original boundaries of this group. The boundaries were slightly modified later as shown in the second map. The visual at the bottom is the flag of the group. Identify. (The absence of the water body whose name is blanked out in the first visual from the second visual is incidental and not important).

Answer: The map and the flag are that of the Iroquois confederacy which originally had five tribes (Mohawk, Oneida, Onandaga, Cayuga and Seneca) till the addition of Tuscarora in 1720. Iam, Anon, Rajesh, Vetti, Shweta and Divya got it. Well done.
