The Iroquois Indian Museum is devoted to the art and history of the Iroquois, a North American confederacy of six Native American tribes based in New York. Located in Howes Cave in Schoharie County, New York, it promotes Iroquois art for teaching the culture and history of the peoples. It also features a performance space for traditional and contemporary Iroquois music and dance. The museum opened in 1981 in the historic homeland of the Mohawk Indians, one of the original Five Tribes of the Iroquois League.
