The Iroquois were not one tribe but a confederacy of tribes. Each tribe was made up of different clans, each with its own animal protector.
In a treaty with the French in Canada of about 1700, the Senecas and Onondagas were represented by pictures of branching trees; the Cayuga by a calumet (sacred pipe); the Oneida by a forked tree; the Mohawk by a bear. Elsewhere the Mohawks were represented by an image of flint, because of their being named "People of Flint".
From this it is clear that even individual tribes did not have "spirit animals", these were more usually associated with clans within tribes.
