Explanation:

The Iroquois League is a defensive league formed by a group of native Indians who speak the same language. This group of tribes was formed as an alliance to defend themselves against their common enemy- the Hurons.

In the given excerpt from the document, Hiawatha began his speech where he implored the council to think of a safer and peaceful means of providing security for their people. He appealed for everyone to "unite in one band" which seems to suggest that they have no option than to comply and be united. This shows that not always are the members of the league united but circumstances compel them to keep their differences aside and look for solutions unitedly.
