The Founding of the Great League of the Haudenosaunee

This is the story of the founding of the Great League of the Haudenosaunee "Iroquois", The Great Law of Peace, by the efforts of the Great Peacemaker and Hiawatha. The Tree of Peace is planted, the roots extending out to the four directions. Other Nations, those of good mind, who see it, may follow the roots back and take shelter under this tree. Each new nation adds a brace to the Longhouse & strengthens the edifice of Reason & Peace. This composite narrative combines three written English versions of the oral tradition; The Newhouse, Chiefs & Gibson.
