This is absolutely, unequivocally historical fact. While there may have been other influences, when compared side by side, the influence of the Great Law of Peace is irrefutable. In 1987, the United States Senate acknowledged that the Great Law of Peace of the Iroquois Nations served as a model for the Constitution of the United States. (U.S. S. Con. Res. 76, 2 Dec. 1987). And since the U.S. Constitution was a model for the charter of the United Nations, the Iroquois Great Law of Peace is also a basis of international law. When the Founding Fathers looked for examples of effective government and human liberty upon which to model a Constitution to unite the thirteen colonies, they found it in the government of the Iroquois Nation. In the 18th Century, the Iroquois League was the oldest, most highly evolved participatory democracy on Earth. [...]"s "The Great Law of Peace includes: freedom of speech freedom of religion the right of women to participate in government separation of powers checks and balances within government a government "of the people, by the people and for the people" three branches of government: two houses and a grand counsel A Women's Council, which is the Iroquois equivalent of our Supreme Court -settling disputes and judging legal violations The central idea underlying Iroquois political philosophy is that peace is the will of the Creator, and the ultimate spiritual goal and natural order among humans. [...] Several delegates from the Iroquois Confederacy attended the Continental Congress in 1776 as it wrote the Declaration of Independence and drafted the Constitution of the United States, modeling it on the Iroquois Constitution. Three weeks later, the Declaration of Independence was signed, and the United States of America was born. [...] [O]ur forefathers copied the Great Law of a people whose land we stole and against whom our government committed genocide, and then kept it a secret for two hundred years. It just makes me want to cry. Please teach your children the truth of the history of our great country." "When the Founding Fathers looked for examples of effective government and human liberty upon which to model a Constitution to unite the thirteen colonies, they found it in the Great Law/Tree of Peace of the Iroquois Native American Indian Nations. In the 18th Century, the Iroquois Confederation under the Great Law of Peace was the oldest, most highly evolved, participatory, self-representative government on Earth."

"Arranged side-by-side in easy to read columns, the comparisons are startling and thought provoking. The evidence along with other testimony was considered so powerful and persuasive, the U.S. Senate passed a resolution 100-0 officially recognizing for the first time in history that the United States was "explicitly modeled upon the Iroquois Confederacy." "Featuring a foreward by Mohawk Chief Jake Swamp and comparison by Gregory Schaaf, Ph.D., this book offers clear evidence on American Indian influences on the U.S. Constitution. "Every American citizen should read and re-read the U.S. Constitution to understand our fundamental rights. This book presents the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights in comparison with similar passages from the Iroquois Great Law of Peace, America's oldest founding document. Over a thousand years ago, the Great Law established the Iroquois Confederacy as a participatory democracy with separation of powers and rights for women."

This excellent article appears to be down, but I'm leaving the link in case it returns.. The Iroquois story of the Great Peacemaker and Iroquois Great Law of Peace, GAYANASHAGOWA by American Freedom Corp https://www.americanfreedomcorp.com/great-treaty-of-peace/ The Peacemaker QUESTION: What did Native Americans call America? ANSWER: "Our Mohawk people, members of the Six Nations Iroquois Confederacy, were well acquainted with the size of this land. We engaged in trade and commerce far into the continental interior and reaching the Gulf Coast. We had gathered sufficient information to refer to North America as "Anowara:kowa" the Great Turtle, which is is its overall shape. This should put an end to the lie that we were regional, ignorant and "Stone Age" in science, politics and technology." ~ Doug George-Kanentiio
