Read the passage. We place you upon those seats, spread soft with the feathery down of the globe thistle, there beneath the shad

e of the spreading branches of the Tree of Peace. There shall you sit and watch the council fire of the confederacy of the Five Nations, and all the affairs of the Five Nations shall be transacted at this place before you.

As one of the first system of government in North America, the Iroquois constitution was the result of the Confederacy of the Five Nations, integrated by the Mohawk, Onondaga, Seneca, Oneida, and Cayuga Native American tribes. Among their many traditions, the Great Tree of Peace was one of utmost importance. The tree itself symbolized <em>the understanding and the preservation of peace among all five nations</em> (On the words of The Covenant: "The tree signifies law and the law is peace among all nations").

As for the branches, they were seen as the protection that peace offered to all the members of the Confederacy ("The branches of this tree signify shelter, giving each individual protection and security under the law. These branches are tended by those among the people who are men").

Answer is: The protection that peace offered to all the members of the Confederacy of the Five Nations.

Well, not only is our data bought and sold, It is also used without consent. The key to stealing data is technology, most data is input through some sort of technology. Whether it be someone entering their DOB on a website, or using their credit card for an online purchase. There are some sites that have even confirmed selling their member's data. As to why they do it? I'm not sure, some people believe it's to pander or better aim future products at individuals.

Where do TUTLES live?​
Whitepunk [10]

Turtles spend most of their lives in water. They are adapted for aquatic life, with webbed feet or flippers and a streamlined body. Sea turtles rarely leave the ocean, except to lay eggs in the sand. Freshwater turtles live in ponds and lakes, and they climb out of the water onto logs or rocks to bask in the warm sun.
