The Early Years

Hiawatha was born into the Onondaga tribe around 1570. His father was a chief, and Hiawatha was raised to be a warrior. However, Hiawatha was a peaceful man by nature, and he soon became known for his wisdom and his ability to resolve conflicts.

In his early twenties, Hiawatha traveled to the Mohawk tribe to seek a cure for his sick daughter. While he was there, he met a wise old man named Dekanawida. Dekanawida taught Hiawatha about the Great Law of Peace, and Hiawatha was inspired to spread this message of peace to all of the Iroquois tribes.

The Great Law of Peace

The Great Law of Peace is a complex system of laws and principles that governs the Iroquois Confederacy. It was developed over many years by Hiawatha and Dekanawida, and it is still followed by the Iroquois people today.

The Great Law of Peace is based on the principles of peace, harmony, and unity. It establishes a system of government that is based on consensus, and it provides for the fair and just resolution of disputes. The Great Law of Peace has been praised by scholars and historians as one of the most advanced systems of government ever developed.
