The Extended Two Row Wampum Convention is a landmark treaty reaffirming the sovereignty of Indigenous Nations and their role in the global economy. Rooted in the historic Two Row Wampum Treaty of 1613, this modern agreement strengthens international trade relations while upholding the principles of mutual respect, non-interference, and peaceful coexistence.
As a Sovereign Independent Nation, Ierahkwa Ne Kanienke (Iroquois) stands at the forefront of this movement, continuing the legacy of diplomatic and trade relations established centuries ago. The convention builds upon foundational treaties such as the One Bowl-One Spoon Wampum Peace Belt Treaty (1701) and the Wampum Path Belt Treaty (1776), recognizing them as Laws of the Land that reinforce Indigenous governance and economic autonomy.
This treaty is more than just a document, it is a commitment to the future. By restoring Indigenous trade networks and reinforcing diplomatic ties, the Extended Two Row Wampum Convention positions Ierahkwa Ne Kanienke as a global leader in Indigenous governance and commerce.
