""The Constitution of the Iroquois Nations"" is a historical document that explains the political and social structure of the Iroquois Confederacy, which was a union of six Native American tribes in what is now the northeastern United States. The book is written anonymously and provides an in-depth look at the traditions, customs, and laws that guided the Iroquois people for centuries. It covers topics such as the roles of the Grand Council, clan mothers, and chiefs, as well as the principles of consensus-based decision-making and the importance of community values. The book also explores the Iroquois' relationship with the natural world and their beliefs about the interconnectedness of all living things. Overall, ""The Constitution of the Iroquois Nations"" offers a fascinating glimpse into a unique and influential culture that has had a lasting impact on American history.All the business of the Five Nations Confederate Council shall be conducted by the two combined bodies of Confederate Lords. First the question shall be passed upon by the Mohawk and Seneca Lords, then it shall be discussed and passed by the Oneida and Cayuga Lords. Their decisions shall then be referred to the Onondaga Lords, (Fire Keepers) for final judgement.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
