Is Onondaga the same tribe as Onontagué? [closed]

Question

I have a lady for whom I recently created a profile who is said to be Onontagué.  Also stated as being Iroquois on other records.  There exists a category for Onondaga under Native Americans and First People's projects.  Is this a case of variations in the way they get recorded, depending on the language of the writer?

Answer 1

I think one is English, the other is an alternative spelling in French. Compare English Wikipedia and French Wikipedia.

Answer 2

Yes. The Onondaga were one of five tribes that made up the Iroquois Confederacy. The other tribes were Mohawk, Seneca, Oneida, and Cayuga.
