Recent archeological finds now date the Haudenosaunee Confederacy to August 19, 909 A.D. This aligns with a full sun eclipse on that day which would go along with oral traditions which tell that this Sign in the Sky is what convinced the Seneca to join.

The confederacy was the dream of a Huron, known as the Peacemaker, his spokes man who was a very skilled orator, Hayenwatha, and another Huron, Chieftess of the Antiwandaronks at what we know today as Tonawanda, the Great Peace Woman, Jikohsasen. The three culture heros combined their talents and abilities to create a true democracy among the warring Nations of the Great Lakes.
It was formed by "Five Tribes" namely; the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, and Seneca.
