Before the Indo-Europeans came..
there was a time when there was war and strife
The Peacemaker and Hiawatha decided to team up
They both went to the people to tell them not to hurt one another and instead think it through
We should not hurt one another
Instead we should think it through
I agree
We need to bring unity to Iroquois
The peacemaker went from nation to nation to find who will accept his way of reason and power
Eventually, those five nations gathered together in council and over there they set down the principles of the Great Law of Peace (Gayaneshakgowa)
The peacemaker gathered everyone and then they recited the Great Peace of Law which they would have to live on by. Then they would burry there weapons under the Tree of Peace
We accepted the peacemakers message!!
In the early 1700s, the Tuscarora, a sixth nation, accepted the peacemaker's message and then the Iroquois Confederacy was complete.
