HAUDENOSAUNEE
People Building a Long House

Welcome to the Haudenosaunee Home Page, the official source of news and information from the Haudenosaunee, comprised of the traditional leadership of the Seneca, Cayuga, Onondaga, Oneida, Mohawk and Tuscarora Nations.

Haudenosaunee means People Building a Long House. That Long House is a way of life where the many native nations live in peace under one common law.

We are the first United Nations in this land and operate under the oldest,continualy-operating form of government, called the Grand Council of the Haudenosaunee.

Our purpose is to bring you straight forward information about us and to counteract the disinformation being spread by people who want to destroy the last remaining traditional government among the Indigenous people of this land. At the same time, we want to share our real concerns about the future of our people.
