The Haudenosaunee Confederacy is an Indigenous political alliance of six nations that has governed itself for centuries through the Great Law of Peace. Its system is based on consensus, clan representation, gender-balanced authority, and collective stewardship of territory. Decisions are made through councils that prioritize harmony, responsibility to future generations, and communal autonomy, making the confederacy one of the oldest continuous systems of participatory governance in the world.
