	Great Law of Peace - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gayanashagowa or the Great Law of Peace of the Iroquois (or Haudenosaunee) Six Nations is the oral constitution that created the Iroquois Confederacy.
		The law was developed by a Huron man known as The Great Peacemaker and his spokesman Hiawatha.
		The Gayanashagowa is said to have provided some inspiration for the United States Constitution.

	DECOLONIZING INDIGENOUS GOVERNANCE: OBSERVATIONS ON RESTORING GREATER
		The Gayanashagowa was as much a philosophy as it was law and its sophisticated governing apparatus affected not just the political, but also the social and cultural life of all Haudenosaunee people.
		As a result, an analysis of the Gayanashagowa and its impact on Haudenosaunee life should be particularly helpful in understanding Seneca political philosophy, the way in which Senecas governed for hundreds of years prior to the revolution in 1848, and the establishment of the Seneca constitutional republic.
		Foremost, the Gayanashagowa was a tool of government and frequently has been referred to as the Haudenosaunee Constitution.

	Chiefs - Mohawk, Iroquois Constitution - Galafilm, Montreal
		Some historians estimate the final ratification may have taken place as early as August 31, 1142 A.D. They base their estimate partly on the date of a solar eclipse that according to Iroquois oral tradition occurred during the ratification ceremony.
		Astronomers say an eclipse was visible in the area where the ceremony took place on August 31, 1142.
		Gayanashagowa is codified in a series of wampum belts (strings of white and fl shells woven into belts) that are now held by the Onondaga Nation.

	Tolerance.org: Teaching Tolerance: A Lesson From the Iroquois (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		In the centuries preceding European conquest, five Native tribes from across what is now New York state -- the Mohawk, the Onondaga, the Seneca, the Oneida and the Cayuga -- formed a joint government known as the Iroquois Nations.
		Their confederacy operated under the laws set forth in "Gayanashagowa (The Great Binding Law)," sometimes called the Constitution of the Iroquois Nations.
		Although the Gayanashagowa was transmitted orally and remained unwritten until the early 1900s, Thomas Jefferson and others who set out to write the U.S. Constitution in the late 1780s drew upon the Iroquois' archetype for inspiration and guidance.
