Around 1613, or there about, is the date estimated, and noted within the
U.S. Government Printing Office Book dated December 2nd, 1987, Titled
Contributions of the Iroquois Nations to the Establishment of the U.S.
Constitution, which states when the first Treaty Agreement took place. The
beginning of our relationship between the original inhabitants (indigenous-first
native people) of Turtle Island being the people of the red earth- red clay pipe
stone, and the newcomers across the great waters being the white people was
based upon the Guswenta, "Two Row" Wampum Belt, our first International
Treaty Agreement, which would later be known as the Grandfather of all
Treaties. For the most accurate and traditional oration, or lawful/legal
interpretation of the Guswenta, see, or log on to Mohawk Nation.

With the making of the"Path" Belt, which is a traditionally recorded native agreement fashioned
from Quahog (clam shells), it is also another very important part of our historical agreements that
defines our arrangement of navigation. In order for us to be able to abide by the Guswenta "Two
Row", while traveling, or navigating, we must first understand the meaning of the "Path" belt
agreement which states that we are to stay on only one path while navigating so that we won't run
into each other head on, but instead we should be careful to abide in our own vessel, so that we might
prevent a collision from occurring. Within the recorded negotiations between the Commissioners
appointed by the President of the United States of America, to enter into a treaty with the Six
Nations of Indians, in this agreement, involving the "Path" belt, it is clearly noted that it was an
agreement that was intended to last "as long as the earth shall remain".
Though these truths about our history are so important and vital to understanding our relationship,
as People-To-People, Nation-To-Nation, Government-To-Government, and Country-To-Country, and
in maintaining peace, what has been overlooked, is that more credit for this information should be
rightfully given or awarded to the Onkwehonwe, the "real people" whose lively hood and history is
founded upon. What is also fascinating, is that the U.S. Constitution was directly formed and
influenced by the principals of the wampum belts of the "Great Law of Peace".

| This book shown here on the left, is from the U.S. Government Printing Office, which not only reaffirms the Great Law of Peace, as the premise for the formation of the U.S. Constitution, but also reaffirms that by Original Indian Title, we the Indigenous First Native People refer to this land mass of North Central, and South America as, The Great Turtle Island. As well as it reaffirms our first Treaty Agreement being the Guswenta "Two Row" Wampum Belt. |
Another important fact regarding the League of Nations, which is now referred to as the United Nations,
is that the original "League of Nations" was actually formed by the Onkwehonwe- Iroquois League of
Nations who have not yet received the proper and full credit for the name "League of Nations". The
Ayonwatha Wampum Belt is the historical document, and record which defines the union of the Original
League of Nations of the Onkwehonwe people, or Iroquois Nations, although there are other names that
the individual Nations now wish to call themselves in their own languages. For more information regarding
the facts, please log on to Iroquois Nations' websites, for example Mohawk Nation.

The quest for survival, involving the fight for preserving indigenous people's rights has been quite a
struggle, and which has been going on ever since the beginning of our first contact. Many people have
contributed greatly and some have played a vital roles and have been very instrumental in the process of
reestablishing, and repatriating what was either lost, destroyed, covered up, or even stolen.
