Did American Indians influence the framers of the U.S. Constitution? After reading this text, U.S. Senators voted 100-0 to accept this fact. Dr. Schaaf testified in behalf of the Iroquois Confederacy at the Senate hearings. While the brief version, now out of print, has been used throughout the American school system, this is the first time the full text has been widely available.
