The Great Law Of Peace

The video explores the history and resilience of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, also known as the Iroquois or Six Nations. It begins with the legend of Hiawatha and the Peacemaker, who sought to end the cycle of violence among the nations through the condolence ceremony. The formation of the Confederacy brought peace and power, but European contact introduced diseases and conflicts like the Beaver Wars. Despite modern challenges, the Haudenosaunee continue to resist colonization and maintain their cultural identity.
