European colonizers, who believed they had discovered the New World were unaware of the political, social, geographical and historical relationships of O:gweho:we who were already living in North America. One of the O:gweho:we nations that existed as a powerful force in North America was the Hodinohso:ni Confederacy, which already had its own governing customary laws provided to them by the Peacemaker. This thesis is intended to explain the traditional customary laws of the Hodinohso:ni in order to provide an analysis and comparison of Hodinohso:ni law with Eurocentric international law.
