"The Hau de no sau nee is governed by a constitution known among Europeans as the Constitution of the Six Nations and to the Hau de no sau nee as the Gayanahakgowah, or the Great Law of Peace. It is the oldest functioning document in the world which has contained a recognition of the freedoms the Western democracies recently claim as their own: the freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and the rights of women to participate in government. The concept of separation of powers in government and of checks and balances of power within governments are traceable to our constitution. They are ideas learned by the colonists as the result of contact with North American Native people, specifically the Hau de no sau nee."
from A Basic Call to Consciousness, Geneva, Switzerland, Autumn 1977:17-18

"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation."
from the first sentence of The Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776

originalists relate this Declaration to the Constitution which established USA a bit later
aboriginalists relate "Laws of Nature and of Nature's God" to Nature as the Creator

originalists link the languages of Declaration and Constitution to each other
aboriginalists know that "the opinions of mankind" were once all focused on the Mother

originalists love Mother Nature because She entitles us to "separate and equal station"
aboriginalists understand diversity of species and cultures is the very basis of this nation

originalists hold the intent of the floundering fathers to be both clarifiable and sacred
aboriginalists know that it is 'we the people' who must free ourselves of war and hatred
