The Constitution of the Iroquois great laws influenced our founding fathers when our government was set up. It take some time but worth reading the best thoughts of the Native people of that time. www.constitution.org/cons/iroquois.htm

Here is another link to a page that addresses the same issue of Iroquois influence on the early American Republic. www.tuscaroras.com/graydeer/influenc/page1.htmI know there has been some controversy surrounding this subject and relating issues such as the use of the eagle on the Great Seal of the United States which many claim was a direct grab from Iroquois symbolism.
