<p>153.90.112.63: </p> <hr /> <div>'''Gayanashagowa''' or the '''Great Law of Peace''' of the [[Iroquois]] (or Haudenosaunee) Six Nations is the oral constitution that created the [[Iroquois Confederacy]]. The law was developed by a [[Huron]] man known as [[The Great Peacemaker]] and his spokesman [[Hiawatha]].<br /> <br /> The Iroquois Confederacy was once once thought to have started in the 1500s, but more recent estimates date the Confederacy, and its constitution between [[1090]] and [[1150]] A.D. These estimates were based on the records of the Confederacy leadership and astronomical dating related to the lunar eclipse that coincided with the founding of the Confederacy (Mann, 332). <br /> <br /> The Gayanashagowa is the primary inspiration for the [[United States Constitution]]. <br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> Mann, Charles C.
