The Iroquois Constitution

This story is about the five nations and how the leader Dekanawidah wanted to have laws they needed to follow through with so their nations would all get along and not fight. They had a tree with roots that came out of it and lead to thee 4 directions. This tree was meant to represent peace and strength. If they obeyed these laws that they made they can trace themselves back to the tree and they would be welcomed. I think the only thing bad about this story was that the laws that they made up to live by and obey weren't really laws. They were mostly ways that you should live your life by. I don't think it's that bad if you disobeyed some of the things that they talked about but I think it's better to try to set some standards like those to live your life by and try to follow them. I don't really like this story because the way the were punished was not fair at all. They may have deserved something but it was unnecessarry for them to be punished like that. This story was alright but not thrilling.
