I think that my country, Switzerland , should have dimplomatic relations with the Iroquois, because we do have many similarities: we are the first democracy of our region,born from a wish of peace and freedom, we are ruled not by a king/president but by a council and have the same ennemy:materialism, who push some of us to reject the teaching of our elders.Native American nations exist whilethe "United States" is not yet a nation but still a European colony

Since recently being told about having Mohawk & Seneca anscestors it has been a very enlightening and rewarding experience. Our traditions and systems of self governing (all first people) are the way of the future.
I was more than impressed and satisfied that the traditions and songs are not as far gone as I expected or heard rumour of.
Thanks for posting - author Ahwahneechee.
Our anscestors would be proud to see so many responding to this and seeing the love for the longhouse!

Remember what chief Cornplanter of the Senaca said, we are all spokes in the wheel of life, all peoples Red, White, Yellow, and Black, if one is broken, then the wheel of life is broken.

was the traditional way- that the women had their own circle- their was not couples dancing-this reflected the communal grandmothers clan group which OWNED the longhouses & communal gardens

@msnativekid I probably saw you then! The rain was something else but no one seemed to care. I'm going back in 2011 - just thinking of the food is making my mouth water...

That is why I also post different tribal and social dances of other Native American tribes. I love Pow wowing, but I am a firm believer in also keeping your traditional tribal dances.
