The Museum of Indian Culture presents The Way of Peace: The Story of the Iroquois Confederacy

The Iroquois Confederacy was also known as the “League of Peace and Power”.  Founded hundreds of years ago, the Confederacy initially consisted of five tribes: the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga and Seneca, which were known as the Five Nations.  A Sixth Nation, the Tuscarora, was added in 1722. The Peacemaker, who brought The Great Law of Peace, united these warring nations to form the Haudenosaunee, the People of the Longhouse.

The Great Law of Peace contributed to the development of the US Constitution and our national symbolism.  Still active among the Haudenosaunee today, it is the oldest democracy in the world, and still a source of inspiration.

Learn about the Peacemaker and the Great Law of Peace in this presentation by the Museum of Indian Culture, Allentown, PA.
