 Archaeological evidence has established that the St. Lawrence Iroquoians were a people distinct from the other regional Iroquoian peoples, the Five Nations of the "Haudenosaunee" and the Wendat (Huron).However, recent archaeological finds suggest distinctly separate groups may have existed among the St. Lawrence Iroquoians as well.The name "St Lawrence Iroquoians" refers to a geographic area in which the inhabitants shared some cultural traits, including a common language, but were not politically united.
