The Iroquois confederacy wasn’t perfect but it was actually a far bigger influence on American governance than people act like. It was a major nation and should be treated as an equal nation to the colonizers similarly to how we are treating such folks as the Aztec and Inca Empires. Also it still exists which I didn’t realize until I was fact checking some statements before making them and found the website of The Hadenosaunee Confederacy. So yeah they’re still around and their influence helped shape one of the most powerful nations the world has ever seen.

And on that note can we please rename Columbus Ohio to Hiawatha.

This is just the Haudenosaunee with extra steps.

Maybe we should speed up the land back stuff and restore the Haudenosaunee to its rightful place ¯_(ツ)_/¯
