You have been selected to take part in the reality show Survivor – Six Nations the Iroquois Confederacy.

The Iroquois Confederacy was formed by the Huron prophet Deganawidah, called "the Peacemaker". The five tribes in the original Iroquois Confederacy were: the Mohawk, Seneca, Oneida, Onondaga, and Cayuga tribes. Later a sixth nation, the Tuscarora tribe, joined the confederation. 

The Iroquois valued the natural environment.  Their political philosophy was rooted in the concept that all life is unified with the natural environment. The Iroquois believed that the spiritual power of one person is limited, but when combined with other individuals in a group spiritual power is enhanced. Therefore, whenever a person died either by natural causes or force, the "public" power of the tribe was diminished. To maintain the strength of the group, the dead were replaced either by natural increase or by adopting captives of war.

Based on the Iroquois Confederacy, you will be placed on a tribe.  You will be required to complete challenges and will fight for your position in your tribe. Your knowledge and skills related to the Iroquois will be put to the test as one of the tribes will win immunity – ‘The Wampum Belt’ - where another will be asked to leave lessening the power their tribe.
