Thoughts
for the day
It’s hard to believe that this is the
last day of September with all these warm temps.
Happy to report I got an email from
Wes. He and his family are safe from the hurricane. I learned that he and his
wife have moved to an independent living place. As they approach 90, they are
very happy with their choice. I looked at the website for the facility. Sure
looks nice.

Native
American Facts…
The Iroquois Confederacy
Helped Inspire the U.S. Constitution
The U.S. Constitution drew
inspiration from the political structure of the Iroquois Confederacy. This
alliance of six Native American nations – the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga,
Seneca, and Tuscarora – had a sophisticated system of government that impressed
the Founding Fathers.
The Iroquois Confederacy, also
known as the Haudenosaunee, operated under a constitution called the Great Law
of Peace. This document outlined a democratic system with checks and balances,
separation of powers, and a bicameral legislature.
Benjamin Franklin and other
early American leaders studied the Iroquois political system and incorporated
some of its principles into the U.S. Constitution.
