Unveiling the Significance of the Great Law of the Iroquois League. This paper aims to explore the Indigenous histories of Abya Yala and Turtle Island by examining the primary source, the “Great Law of the Iroquois League”. The construction of this foundational document from c.1300 through oral tradition, was to address the ‘suffering of constant warfare’ among the members of the Iroquois Confederacy, and establish unity and harmony among the Five Nations of the Haudenosaunee–the Cayugas, Mohawks, Oneidas, Onondagas, and Senecas.
