The Great Law is a reading of The Great Law of Peace by Chief Jacob Thomas, Six Nations of the Grand River, Ontario. Chief Thomas explains the origin, meaning, and relevance of The Great Law for interested people in June 1994. Chief Jacob Thomas was considered one of the most knowledgeable people from Six Nations regarding The Great Law and the Handsome Lake Code. Chief Thomas was at the forefront of local community efforts to preserve and promote the languages and ceremonies. In 1994 Chief Thomas hosted a Reading of the Great Law in English in an effort to pass on the knowledge of this significant historical event to those who no longer speak their language. This package consists of forty-two 60-minute audiocassettes. The tapes begin at Creation and cover Clans, Ceremonies, Giving Thanks, the importance of the Good Mind, and Language. On the seventh audiotape, Chief Thomas recounts the story of The Peacemaker and the establishment of The Great Law of Peace among five warring nations. Over several days he told the narrative in English and often stopped to explain concepts or relate the ideas to contemporary situations. This unedited opportunity to hear the story of the Journey of the Peacemaker and the Formation of the Six Nations Confederacy will appeal to anyone studying the Great Law and its relevance today. Recommended for senior elementary to adult learners. |
