Great Law of Peace

It’s important to note that the Great Law of Peace is a living constitution, and its principles continue to guide the Haudenosaunee nations today. While the Haudenosaunee have their traditional governance structures, they may also operate within the legal and political frameworks of the countries they reside in, such as the United States and Canada. The Great Law of Peace represents a unique and enduring system of governance that has inspired discussions on democracy and governance beyond the Haudenosaunee communities.
