The story is based on the information from the book “Forgotten Founders” by Bruce E. Johansen (https://www.amazon.com/Forgotten­Founders­American­Indian­Democracy/dp/0916782905) and it describes an almost ideal social structure WITHIN the Iroquois Federation.
This is what impressed the Founding Fathers like Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson, among others, the separation of powers to make the domination of any one member nation the dominant power of the rest, ie. the Federal Government we presently have.
The story is not meant to romanticize all Native American tribes. Their actions against warring enemy tribes was just as cruel and barbaric as any other tribe, including white, but interestingly, they left the door open to any of the warring tribe to join the Federation if they would commit to follow The Great Law of Peace.

This publication is done in the V4V principle (Value 4 Value, as pioneered by the NoAgenda podcast https://www.noagendashow.net/). That means it is free for you to use in any way you like AS LONG AS IT'S MEANING IS NOT CHANGED and this notice is included.
All I ask is that if you get some value from it, you reciprocate and send some value to me in return. This can be in the form of Time, Talent or Treasure.
Time: pass the word, let others know of this idea. The idea is what's important.
Talent: if you know how to enhanse the message, make it more receptive, go ahead and do it, and let me know at bocegueda@gmail.com
Treasure: ...
Sincerely,
Bob Ocegueda
