Indigenous History Month

Happy Indigenous History Month! Have you heard of the Iroquois Confederacy?! Centuries ago, the five Iroquois (or Haudenosaunee) Nations bound themselves together in peace and unity, while maintaining their separate individual powers, creating the Iroquois Confederacy – a central, representative government formed in accordance with moral principles. The origins of this Confederacy are explained in the legend of the Tree of Great Peace – a story which has been passed down for hundreds of years by the Iroquois people. Still to this day the Iroquois Confederacy is a respected model for political organization; even the authors of the American constitution studied it and consulted with the Iroquois elders when Americans were framing their national laws!
