Look on the back of a one-dollar bill, and you will find the Great Seal of the United States. It reveals the Founding Fathers’ respect for the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. Just as a bald eagle sits as a look out atop the Haudenosaunee Tree of Peace, a bald eagle appears on the US bill. The concept of a cluster of arrows representing a strong union of individuals also originated with the Haudenosaunee. Seeking unity among the original Five Nations, the Peacemaker demonstrated how a single arrow was easily broken but many arrows bound together were not.
