Presentation to the United Nations July 18, 1995 by Carol Jacobs, Cayuga Bear Clan Mother, Akwesasne Notes, Fall 1995

  • In making any law, our chiefs must always consider three
    things: the effect of their decision on peace; the effect
    on the natural world; and the effect on seven generations
    in the future. We believe that all lawmakers should be
    required to think this way, that all constitutions
    should contain these rules.


    We call the future generations "the coming faces". We
    are told that we can see the faces of our children to
    come in the rain that is falling, and that we must
    tread lightly on the earth, for we are walking on the
    faces of our children yet to come. That attitude, too,
    we want to have you learn and share.
