 PHILOSOPHY

The leaders of the Haudenosaunee have always considered three Principles when making decisions: will a decision threaten peace, the natural world, or future generations.  The delegates of the Haudenosaunee  Environmental Task Force have accepted these principles and use the following questions to guide us in our decision making:

▪What effect will our decisions have on peace?

▪What effect will our decisions have on the natural world?

▪What effect will our decisions have on future generations?
