Gifts of the Longhouse

As Philadelphia commemorates the 250th anniversary of the nation’s founding, this Public Trust event invites audiences to reconsider the origins of American democratic thought by centering the governance traditions of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy (often referred to historically as the Iroquois Confederacy). The program will examine how its sophisticated systems of governance, diplomacy, consensus-building, and shared power—developed centuries before European contact—were encountered and studied by colonial leaders, including the influence on early American political thought and the U.S. Constitution. Free and open to the public. Register to attend.
