^[1]  When the Haudenosaunee / Iroquois decided to end ongoing fighting between their five constituent nations, they:

• Agreed to bury their weapons, or a single symbolic weapon, under the Tree of Peace — a large tree of this species — an ◼︎ eastern white pine  Pinus strobus.
  
  
• Created the Haudenosaunee / Iroquois Confederacy :
   ◦  a dem­o­crat­ic system of gov­ern­ment,
   ◦  with separate branches of gov­ern­ment,
   ◦  and balance of power.
  
  A system of government that worked so well that 250 years later, and 226 years ago, the newly-birthed 🇺🇸 USA borrowed this system for its form of gov­ern­ment, which it describes in its Constitution.  And also borrowed from the Haudenosaunee the word caucus!
