The Meoquanee, also known as the Great Meoquanee Nation, is a confederation of tribal groups in Anteria. The confederation was formed in 1794 by a man named Tuskaluza, who was known as the "Great Peacemaker" or Skennenrahawi. He brought together seven tribes, including the Ehawee, Takchawee, Tocho, Nokosi, Mahkah, Kwatoko, and Chosovi tribes, and formed what is now referred to as the Council of Seven Fires. The Meoquanee have a rich and complex history, with each tribe having its own unique culture, traditions, and customs. The confederation was established to promote unity and cooperation among the tribes and to provide a framework for resolving disputes and making decisions that affect the entire confederation.
Today, the Meoquanee Nation is home to over half a million people, with the largest tribe being the Ehawee, which has a membership of 223,564. The smallest tribe is the Nokosi, with 17,210 members. The Meoquanee people continue to honor their traditions and maintain their cultural identity, while also adapting to the modern world.
