The Covenant of Nations

The Covenant of Nations is revitalizing the original strong and respectful relationship between the Haudenosaunee Confederacy and the Anishinaabeg Nation, and affiliated nations, to better respond to current-day challenges to nationhood, the environment, and the future of all these nations. This work includes coordinating a 2023 gathering of the traditional leaders, elders, knowledge holders and youth of these nations, so they can learn from each other, share sacred Indigenous knowledge and support the well-being of their nations and communities. This renewal of their alliances, and covenants of peace and friendship, is the first such gathering since 1840.
