* Iroquois united in 16 th century or earlier. * Dekanawidah, prophet, urged bands in N. Y. to quit fighting and unite. * Five Nations (confederacy of Seneca, Cayuga, Onondaga, Oneida, & Mohawk tribes) = Iroquois * Later Tuscarora joined the Six Nations. * Gained power over other tribes later * Helped the British win the French & Indian War * Divided during the Revolutionary War

* United the Iroquois * Established laws & practices * Passed down orally for generations * Recorded in shell beads called wampum (memory device for oral tradition) * Now called the Iroquois Constitution * Written down in 1800s

* An Onondaga named Canassatego suggested that the colonists form a nation similar to the Iroquois Confederacy during a meeting of the Provincial Council of Pennsylvania in Lancaster on June 25, * According to the director of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, Peter J. Parker, the council minutes show that Canassatego urged the colonists to ''receive these your brethren with open arms; unite yourselves to them in the covenant chain and be you with them as one body and one soul.'‘ * ''They contemplated examples from Europe, examples from Greco-Roman times, examples from the Bible,'' he said. ''And they also looked at Native American examples, particularly the Iroquois Confederacy.''

* One forum to share ideas between the colonists and the Iroquois, in the years leading to the French and Indian War, was the the Albany Congress between June 19 and July 9, At the meeting, representatives of the six Indian nations and seven colonies heard Benjamin Franklin champion the Iroquois example as he presented his Plan of Union. * ''It would be a strange thing,'' he told the assembly, ''if six nations of ignorant savages should be capable of forming such a union, and yet it has subsisted for ages and appears indissolvable, and yet a like union should be impractical for 10 or a dozen English colonies.''

How could this be important in oral tradition?

* The Iroquois’ tree’s roots were strength and peace. * Draw a Tree of Great Peace for America today. Include its roots & name them. What are the roots (origins) of peace for us? Why? * Name 3-5 of the leaves (results).
