Question: Which document was the Haudenosaunee/Iroquois Confederacy known for?
Answer options: ✅ The Great Law of Peace
- Royal Proclamation
- Treaty 6
- Indian Act
Correct answer: The Great Law of Peace
Explanation: The Great Law of Peace is correct because it is the historic oral constitution that unified the Haudenosaunee Confederacy under a system of peace and democratic governance. The wrong options are incorrect because the Royal Proclamation was a British decree of 1763, Treaty 6 was a specific land treaty signed with Prairie First Nations, and the Indian Act is a nineteenth-century Canadian federal statute. This reflects the Discover Canada concept that Indigenous societies possessed advanced, self-governing political traditions long before European contact. Understanding these foundational Indigenous achievements is highly relevant for scoring well on historical questions in the official citizenship test.
