Tracking the Roots of Peace

Tracking the Roots of Peace

The Great Peacemaker

John Stokes introduces us to the Haudenosaunee, and the Great Peacemaker.

Many people in the United States do not realize that our form of governance was almost entirely adapted from the Haudenosaunee, The People of the Longhouse, also known as the Iroquois Confederacy, who presently reside in New York state. Many of the Founding Fathers of the United States were profoundly influenced by the governance and Constitution of the Iroquois Confederacy, which was formed by the Great Peacemaker, who brought the Great Law of Peace. In our present times, looking at the beauty of the governance of the Haudenosaunee can help illuminate our paths forward.

Related Practices:

John speaks at length of the Iroquois Confederacy, and of Chief Oren Lyons. See Responsibilities versus Rights. He speaks in depth of the Thanksgiving Address that the Iroquois brought. Tracking is a metativity in the Restorative Practices model: a meditation, a metaphor, and an activity. The lens of tracking can be applied internally, externally, and relationally to Self, Others, and the Living World. So tracking, as a lens, is related to most everything on the model. To explore primary branches moving out from the trunk of tracking, first with regard to nature awareness, see Tracking and the Arts of Life, Tracking as Metativity, Pattern Language of Nature, Bird Language, Sit Spot, and Orienting to the Four Directions. See Tracking Physiology (Polyvagally). For tracking in relationship to self-awareness, see Dream Tracking. See Building Ropes. For tracking in relationships, see Relational Mindfulness with Lee Mun Wah. See Reflective Listening. See Restorative Justice.

Humans have probably always been awed by the natural world.
