The formula for peace and happiness on earth eluded the wisest men of the past and these included Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Solomon, Confucius, etc. The Bible only claims to know the way to peace and happiness after one is dead. It took the North American DEGANAWIDA to find the formula. He made a code which he called GAYANEREKOWA, now known as THE GREAT LAW, conquered the five most fierce nations imaginable in history, the Mohawks, Oneidas, Cayugas, Senecas and Onondagas, united them in a Confederacy (world's first people's republic) and put them symbolically in one LONG HOUSE. The Confederacy became a powerful state and established a Protectorate of 28 Indian Nations. Peace reigned over these nations for centuries until the white man came fresh from his Dark Age and rekindled hate among Indian Nations. GAYANEREKOWA was the model for the United States Constitution, but not all the rights and freedoms of the people were adopted. International Law has provisions which are definitely Iroquois. The LEAGUE OF NATIONS and the UNITED NATIONS organized to bring peace to all nations and abolish the scourges of war, were inspired by the old Iroquois League and in 1950 made a special study of the LONG HOUSE to incorporate Iroquois principles in their deliberations.
