In this website they talk about religion of the Iroquois American Indian peoples. They believe in twin forces, good and evil created by the birth of two twins, Ioskeha (good) and Tawiscara (bad). Humanity was created by Ioskeha but Tawiscara created great suffering and troubles. Eventually Ioskeha created the shamans who are able to bring healing and try to restore the balance of good on the Earth.

In this website they talk about the Iroqouis Goverment. One of the greatest Native American governments is the Confederacy of the six Iroquois Nations. This was more than a tribal government. It was a group of six different tribal governments. They also mention how this whole started. They talk about the true story of the start of the Confederacy. They also show a picture of a very old real wampum belt. This sacred wampum belt represents the union of the Five Nations. The belt was made to remember the Great Peace. What that means is the Five Nations joined together by the Path of Peace. The Great Tree figure in the center is the Onondaga, the head of their government. The Peace Path continues to either side and that means that others may follow this path and become part of the Great Peace.

This was a kinda creepy subject to make a PowerPoint about but you did a great job. I also liked how you stacked a lot of information for us to learn about. The only problem was the font color and size. It was hard to read at times but it was still a good PowerPoint.
