Grateful for the opportunity to speak to a political science class at McGill University on Indigenous governance systems, specifically the Haudenosaunee (Rotinonhsión:ni) Confederacy. It was a pleasure to speak from my personal experience as a Kanien’kehá:ka woman. We had some issues with the internet during the lecture, appreciative of everyone’s patience and understanding. Niawen’kó:wa 🙂

Here are some links and resources on the Haudenosaunee Confederacy:
