Haudenosaunee Confederacy (jan 1, 1400 – jan 1, 1776)
Description:
The confederacy, made up of the Mohawks, Oneidas, Onondagas, Cayugas, and Senecas was intended as a way to unite the nations and create a peaceful means of decision making. Through the confederacy, each of the nations of the Haudenosaunee are united by a common goal to live in harmony. Each nation maintains it own council with Chiefs chosen by the Clan Mother and deals with its own internal affairs but allows the Grand Council to deal with issues affecting the nations within the confederacy. The confederacy promoted ideas of freedom, individual rights, and equality since it provided political rights for both men and women as well as the right to free speech for both genders, influencing classical liberalism ideas.
