Papers 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 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.
