Hodinohso:ni Governance & the Great Law of Peace - Conversations in Cultural Fluency #4

[@dagmarholl4177]

Iam so grateful for your gift to us about the Great Law of the Six Nations! May the Chiefs be successful in carrying on ! Wanishi

[@ashyasharris1]

The more I listen to this the more I understand what is wrong with modern American governance. The whole system is broken. I think that the hearts of Americans are broken. I think their minds are broken. We have forgotten all the important things we were taught by The Peacemaker, if, indeed, anyone in the dominant European culture ever knew them at all.

Good point

Careful you don’t fall into the trap other people have and believe your own hype

[@cindyq52700]

Absolutely agree beautiful message to remind us we should have been taught this in school

[@prodigalson6166]

happy 875th birthday to the Haudenosaunee. keep strong my relatives and thank you for your influence on these United States of America as recognized by HR 331 100th Congress second session 1988. your vision is the hope of America and the entire world. May the Great Law of Peace be known throughout the world. All My Relations

@@jimijaaimz tell that to the archaeological evidence. If you don't like America and get the hell out. If you can't accept the facts of our history and want to revise our history, or continue with the lies we have been told then get the hell out. Damn foreigners.

[@prodigalson6166]

@@jimijaaimz wait a moment maybe I was a little hasty. Are you saying that the Haudenosaunee are 1025 years older? Think I might have misunderstood you

Heartfelt gratitude for posting this beautiful video that gives a greater understanding of the history of the Hodinohso:ni and elucidates “the great law”. Very moving, inspires a longing in the heart for a return to these higher teachings... may all peoples learn from this, and may the message of the peacekeeper live on to bless future generations. ❤️

[@furusaogoge]

The lessons of the First Nations' ancestors are more relevant today than ever!!!! Beautiful video! Beautiful lecture!!!

[@ashyasharris1]

Wado, sago, hello friends and cousins.💞

[@ashyasharris1]

I'm a Tsalagi cousin trying to explain some of this to some friends and appreciate very much you taking the time to make this video to remind me of the traditions around here and help me share them with people who seek knowledge. The Haudunosaunee inspired the Constitution of the United States. We need reminders of the basic principles now more than ever IMHO

[@ashyasharris1]

Having lived alongside Cayuga and Seneca Lakes most of my life I am curious where the purple wampum came from. I think whatever it was is now very rare or maybe extinct.

[@Zaycream21]

​@@ashyasharris1maybe the berries from the trees of the wood they used. Elderberry.

[@teyanuputorti7927]

it made up Quahog shells

[@justinrivera1618]

Your people did not inspire the Constitution of the United States. That being said, I’m pretty sure that they did inspire the articles of confederacy

[@richardjones7984]

Very interesting historical information that could be put to good use today. All those US Europeans seem to have failed to remember that the longhouse system was also in use in Europe for millennia before the Roman's destroyed it. The Gothic cathedrals represent the way the Goths wooden longhouses were carved. So the native Americans and native Europeans lived in the same houses with the same spiritual symbols and built stone circles and megaliths for what was originally the same purpose that has been mostly forgotten over time. War is the enemy of civilisation. Irish Celtic monks also wore Mohawks long before America was re-discovered.

Grandiosa la interpretación del simbolismo !!! Me impresionó la profundidad del simbolismo . Es curioso pero las línea en Diagonal pareciera que simbolizara la inclinación del eje de la tierra que es aquello que permite que se manifiesten las Estaciones . En las experiencias del Yahe o Ayahuasca se mencionan los rombos de colores por parte de varias comunidades indígenas sur americanas .

[@LizfollowsHIM]

That's beautiful. Thank you.

[@teyanuputorti7927]

Very interesting how the great law of peace most likely influenced the bill of rights, and how they understood how a system of government can't be divided or it will fail.

[@justinrivera1618]

I’ve heard this arrow story so many times and from different peoples on the planet. Now I have to know if it’s coincidence that every leader has done this analogy or if people are co-opting a single event

[@muskratskull]

Thank you. Helps me understand many things.

Given that many first people's languages do not have a writen form of expression (No writen language history books) the development of a way to record and preserve the peoples memorys and histotic events as well as show ones instiled Title (as a recognised leader) Wampum (What some would call a "A mnemonic device") hold's the memorys of the core values that lie at the foundation roots of the peoplehood of the six nations confederacy a lot of very powerful internal lifes lessons are held within these core memorys could never be expressed any other way..

Don't forget the importance of the lakes. So many of you have been displaced and that breaks my heart but when you think about the significance of the belts don't forget about the Lakes. The Finger Lakes run north and south and they are natural barriers and they act like dogs or wolves to stop Intruders.

[@bklynravi]

15:42 Aho! Niawen/ thank you, from my European-heritage perspective. "We would add them [people from other lands; Europeans] to this circle. They would come in and join us, because we realize in order to be at peace in our land we have to treat each other as if we are members of one family. That was one of the founding principles of the Great Law: that all people are equal, all people are deserving of justice, so we have to stand together in that unity of thought."

[@ThisOldHat]

The bead language sounds very similar to a system of language used in South America by native peoples, where they used knots tied into lengths of string to keep records, but iirc no one knows how to decipher them anymore.

[@brianperkins6121]

I think you are talking about Quipu (Also writen as Khipu)

The problem is we were supposed to be a matriarchal society but our constitution was modified to a patriarchal society.

[@candacehill1532]

But people must be aware of the split of the Longhouse via HandsomeLake who became a Freemason when division happened still to this day with Sid Hill and Oren Lyons sell ours aligned with the UN

My name is Mingo. I know the story is we no longer exist in some conversations but clearly that’s not true. I would love to hear your information if you had any on the Mingo Indian. Did you know historically written is Mingo and “Six Nations” are synonymous…
