Papers Ancient Iroquois Indians - Daily Life (Donn) Provides information on the daily lives of the ancient Iroquois. "There is a huge geographic area in the northeastern part of the United States that is known as the Woodlands. The Woodlands include all five great lakes - Lake Ontario, Erie, Huron, Michigan, and Superior - as well as the Finger Lakes and the Saint Lawrence River." "The most powerful group [in the Woodlands area] were the Iroquois Nations - the Seneca, Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, and Cayuga. Much later in their history, these five nations were joined by the Tuscaronra Nation, bringing the League to a total of six. These were not tribes that joined together to form a nation. These were nations that joined together to form the League of Nations. Each group in the League was an Iroquois Nation. The Iroquois spoke the same language. They believed in the same gods. They had many similar customs. They were Iroquois people." 03-06 Iroquois Constitution (Ratical.org) "The Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Confederacy, one of the world's oldest democracies, is at least three centuries older than most previous estimates, according to research by Barbara Mann and Jerry Fields of Toledo University, Ohio." "Using a combination of documentary sources, solar eclipse data, and Iroquois oral history, Mann and Fields assert that the Iroquois Confederacy's body of law was adopted by the Senecas (the last of the five nations to ratify it) August 31, 1142. The ratification council convened at a site that is now a football field in Victor, New York. The site is called Gonandaga by the Seneca." 7-05 Iroquois Foundation for the U.S. Constitution (ChampionTrees.org) "The Iroquois Confederacy existed centuries before the U.S. Constitution was written. Historians, anthropologists and traditional chiefs addressed the proposal the U.S. Constitution was based on the Iroquois Great Law of Peace rather than on Greek democracy, as is commonly believed and taught." Iroquois Nation History (First Nations - Sultzman) "Simply put, the Iroquois were the most important native group in North American history...." 2-00 Iroquois Nation Languages (Tolatsga.org) Includes Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, Seneca, and Tuscarora." 10-05 Iroquois of the Northeast U.S. (Carnegie Museum of Natural History) Examines the beliefs and life styles of four American Indian tribes of the United States, including the Iroquois. "Though all of these peoples have chosen different pathways and strategies for making a life in their various environments, one similar concept is voiced by all--that a reciprocal connection exists between people and the rest of the world."
