The Iroquois Constitution
The Iroquois Constitution wasn't just a set of laws and an explanation of how a government will operate. It was much more than that. It was a way of life. It explains how people should live their life under the Tree of Great Long Leaves, meaning in peace and harmony. Under the Tree anger and frustration did not exist. When you lived under this constitution you lived without hatred and with love and peace at heart. You would show your peace and gratitude toward others in the confederation with four strings of shells. I the strings of shells are symbolic for love and peace. This was a place where evil was not a factor. Only love would be expressed under the Tree of Great Long Leaves.
