Iroquois religion

Religion of the Iroquois American Indian peoples. They believe in twin forces, good and evil created by the birth of two twins, Ioskeha (good) and Tawiscara (bad). Humanity was created by Ioskeha but Tawiscara created great suffering and troubles. Eventually Ioskeha created the shamans who are able to bring healing and try to restore the balance of good on the Earth.
