The Haudenosaunee Confederacy is among the world’s oldest living governments

Evidence

The Haudenosaunee, or Six Nations Iroquois Confederacy, is among the most ancient continuously operating governments in the world. Long before the arrival of the European peoples in North America, our people met in council to enact the principles of peaceful coexistence among nations and in recognition of the right of peoples to a continued and uninterrupted existence. — Winona LaDuke, All Our Relations, 82
