The Iroquois Constitution A Primary Source Investigation of the Law of the Iroquois

Description

Long before there was a government of the United States, Iroquois bards recited and passed down through the generations the law of the Six Nations Confederacy, which gave women the power to remove chiefs and established a system of checks and balances between the different tribes. This constitution was the basis on which the U.S. Constitution was created. Students will gain a deeper understanding of the structure of the American government by entering the world of the Iroquois.
