Since medieval times, the Hoodenoshieöné Confederation dominated what is now western [[New Netherland]] as well as parts of [[Meerenland]] and Irokesenland. The state abided by the Great Constitution

===== Wars and expansion =====
In the late 17th century, the Hoodenoshieöné attacked and pillaged what is now northern Irokesenland, driving the local Ilinieuweck northwest. With the Netherlands' support, the Hoodenoshieöné were able to stop the French from expanding down south during the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beaver_Wars Beaver Wars]. At one point, they came close to sacking the settlement of Montréal. In the 1690s, peace was made with the French. The Hoodenoshieöné victory during the war put the Dutch in a prime position to launch [https://www.reddit.com/r/RosesTulipsAndLiberty/comments/mxdk75/european_claims_and_expeditions_into_the/ various explorations and expeditions] down the Ohio and Mississippi rivers and subsequently claim a large portion of North America's interior.

==== The Great Migration ====
By the dawn of the 19th century,
When New Netherland declared independence from the Dutch in 1796,
New Netherland was no longer subject to the Treaty of Perpetual Alliance and had legal ability to stop paying the land leases. By 1805, the Onatouwacka and Cajuckonoo nations saw it necessary to migrate southwest to present-day central Irokesenland to avoid assimilation and cultural genocide. Tensions between the five different nations increased steadily with each having differing political and economic agendas. During the [[History of New Netherland#The New Patroon Government, under Marÿn van der Beeke, first stadtholder of New Netherland (1796-1811)|reign of Marÿn van Beeke]], the Onondaga nation even showed interest in formally becoming part of New Netherland, triggering a drastic political decision.

==== The Protectorate
As the 19th century progressed, the Cajuckonoo and Onatouwacka engaged in conflicts with indigenous peoples native to Irokesenland, such as the Sjouwanacki, Tsjickasja, Nieuwkonscka, and the Ockapa. The Irokees soon assimilated many of these peoples. During these wars, the Royal Tussenland Company offered the territory of modern [[Opdamsland]] to these displaced tribes.

▲In 1848, the Dutch sold land west of the Appalachian Mountain Range to the British, in an effort to prevent war over the contested region. The Iroquois who had lived there, namely the Ojateckeronoo (Cherokee), Tsjerohacka (Nottoway), Kouintsjacka (Meherrin), and the Scharoerieacka (Tuscarora), who were all southern Iroquois people, were moved to the western Iroquois country, south of Cajuckonoo land. These tribes, while still Iroquois peoples, were at the mercy of the Cajuckonoo and the Ojateckeronoo.

Over the entire 19th century, the Iroquois society had morphed into something completely different than what they had before the Europeans arrived. The trade and alliance with the Dutch led to heavy intermingling and intermarriages between their societies, and a growing mixed-race population, called the Irokees, was starting gain dominance. The shift towards western cultural styles were catalyzed by the creation of the Irokesenland protectorate. Irokees people adopted many of the cultural practices of the Dutch, such as Christianity, market participation, written constitutions, the gradual shift towards a patrilineal society, and even slavery, but had not abandoned their strong Iroquois identity. The borders within Irokesenland, originally intended as the boundaries between the various Iroquois nations, gradually became nothing more than ordinary administrative divisions as a new Irokees identity grew and tribal divisions were becoming less apparent.
'''Dominion of Tussenland'''
By the late 1850s, Irokees nationalism was at a high. The colonial dependence on the Dutch led to desires for self-determination and independence. Irokesenland was not alone in their quest for self-rule. Other colonies of the Dutch, like the Francohponic Meerenland colony in the Great Lakes, also experienced unrest. In 1859, Irokesenland nationalists joined forces with the Francophone Meerenlander rebels in the north. Together, they participated in an insurrection that led to colonial reforms by the Dutch in 1861.▼
