The Iroquois federation wrote that for the founding fathers. If you look at the back of the $100 bill it is only half of the picture upstairs was the Indians with the help of a translator who drafted each Declaration of Independence for the founding fathers to sign because they did not have the language.

And yes it is time to honor the laws and treaties!

Interesting piece of history that few are even aware of. Benjamin Franklin, James Wilson, John Adams, and others refer to the influence of the Iroquois. Historians can't agree on the extent of the influence, but at a minimum Iroquois federalism was part of the discussion.
