Poster - Tree of Peace: Circa Ninth Century AD. The Great Law of Peace united five warring nations into the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, a powerful alliance that continues today. Oren Lyons 1976, printed on archival quality, acid-free paper. With the Tadadaho’s commitment to the Great League of Peace, the Peacemaker and his partner Hiawenta gathered the five nations on the Northeast shores of Onondaga Lake and established the principles and process of governance of The Great Law of Peace. He said, “The Earth is female, the mother to all life, therefore this great new confederacy would be matrilineal. Each large family (clan) would have five leaders, a Clanmother, a principal male leader and a male partner to lead the nation in all affairs, with a male faith keeper and a female faith keeper to move about and see to the ceremonies and the health and welfare of their entire extended family (clan).
