Modern population





The total number of Iroquois today is difficult to establish.

About 45,000 Iroquois lived in Canada in 1995.

In the 2000 census, 80,822 people in the United States claimed Iroquois ethnicity, with 45,217 of them claiming only Iroquois background. However, tribal registrations in the United States in 1995 numbered about 30,000 in total.
