"The League of the Iroquois was a true representational
democracy-so much so that the United States Constitution is said to
have been modeled on some of its tenets. But how, perhaps a
thousand years before the time of Columbus, did the Five Iroquois
Nations (the Mohawk, Onondaga, Oneida, Cayuga, and Seneca) come to
end the bitter eye-for-eye warfare among them? What brought them
together in an alliance based on the Great Law of Peace? And how
was it that a system of Clan Mothers was instituted in which women
are seen as the center of the nation and still today choose the 50
royaners, or peace chiefs, who speak for their respective
communities in meetings of the League? In A Peacemaker for Warring
Nations, renowned Native author Joseph Bruchac draws from the
teachings of both contemporary and past Iroquois tradition bearers
in telling the inspiring story of how "the Peacemaker," a divine
messenger sent by the Creator, helped to bring reconciliation to
warring nations. The book is beautifully and accurately illustrated
by David Kanietakeron Fadden, a respected Mohawk artist whose work
honors his deep indigenous roots"--
