In this class we will look at the Haudenosaunee (People of the Longhouse) more specifically the Kanienkeha:ka (Mohawk) before European contact. We will talk about the Great Law of Peace, which is the basis for modern Democracy, traditional roles and responsibilities, how our people lived in harmony and the journey it took to get there.
