Excerpts from The New York Times, “Iroquois Constitution: A Forerunner to Colonists’ Democratic Principles”, 1987
One of the main influences on the framers of the Constitution was the unwritten democratic constitution under which the Iroquois Confederacy had operated since the 16th century, according to a group of American Indians and scholars.
''If Americans are going to celebrate the anniversary of their Constitution, we figure we had better tell them where the idea came from,'' said Chief Oren Lyons, an Onondaga and an associate professor of American studies at the State University at Buffalo.
The Onondaga are one of the six nations that now make up the confederation, which stretches from the Mohawks near Albany to the Senecas near Buffalo.
Before Europeans settled upstate in the 1600's, the Five Nations of the Iroquois lived under a constitution that had three main principles: peace, equity or justice and ''the power of the good minds,'' that of the elders over the young, Professor Lyons said.
An Onondaga named Canassatego suggested that the colonists form a nation similar to the Iroquois Confederacy during a meeting of the Provincial Council of Pennsylvania in Lancaster on June 25, 1744.
One forum to share ideas between the colonists and the Iroquois, in the years leading to the French and Indian War, was the Albany Congress between June 19 and July 9, 1754. At the meeting, representatives of the six Indian nations and seven colonies heard Benjamin Franklin. champion the Iroquois example as he presented his Plan of Union.

- a lot of these are from Middle East and Europe - far away - they look the same - European heritage |
In 1754, Franklin met with Colonial and Iroquois (Haudenosaunee) leaders to discuss how the colonies might govern themselves. It was called the Albany Congress. Hendrick, a Mohawk chief, showed them how the Iroquois Confederacy worked. "To illustrate the power of unity," Mr. Tarbell says, "Hendrick used the example the Iroquois used when their nations came together: He held up one arrow and broke it, then held up five arrows bound together and showed how they could not be broken."
The next day, Tarbell notes, Franklin presented a plan for a new American government designed to weld the individual Colonies into a unified whole. It was called the Albany Plan of Union, and it included many features of Iroquois law. -California Indian Education Network
The U.S. Constitution developed by Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson was indeed influenced by the Haudenosaunee Confederacy.
Both models stress the importance of unity and peace and provide freedom to seek out one’s success. Similarities can also be seen in the symbols of each nation. While the Great Law features five arrows bound together as a symbol signifying the unity and strength of the five nations, the seal of the United States uses an eagle clutching a bundle of 13 arrows signifying the 13 original colonies.
The way the U.S. Congress operates is also similar to the actions made by the Grand Council as outlined by the Peacemaker. Within Grand Council meet the Chiefs of each nation which then divide into sections of Elder Brothers and Younger Brothers. This model is very similar to the U.S. Constitution’s two-house congress.
The founding fathers of the United States had ample opportunity to study and learn from the Haudenosaunee. Benjamin Franklin and other founding fathers attended treaty councils that brought to life the proceedings of the confederacy. One particular meeting saw Canassatego, the then Chief of the Onondaga, impressing upon the colonists the importance of forming a union of all the colonies.
During 1750 it was clear that the colonist’s ideals were beginning to diverge from those of Europe and Franklin began to look at a new system of government. The Haudenosaunee Confederacy model presented a society free of oppression and definition of class.
June 19, 1754 marked a monumental meeting of the Albany Congress with members from each colony with the Haudenosaunee in attendance. Mohawk Chief Hendrick was asked to explain the Haudenosaunee Confederacy’s model. Following the Albany Congress Franklin drew up a plan that had all the British American colonies federated under a single legislature with a president-general who would be appointed by the Crown, a very similar model to the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. Like the confederacy all states had to agree on a course of action before it could be implemented.
