Native American Heritage Month - 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 tribes, which were known as the Five Nations. A Sixth Nation, the Tuscarora, was added in the early 1700’s. The Peacemaker, who brought The Great Law of Peace, united these warring nations to form the Haudenosaunee, the People of the Longhouse. This representative form of government not only inspired the US Constitution, but continues to be relevant today. Learn the story of the Great Peacemaker and the symbols that are reminders of the Way of Peace. Christine Applegate of the Musuem of Indian Culture will return to present this program.
