Answer:

Deganawida "The great peacemaker" came to the Five Nations that were constantly in belligerence, with a message he had received from The Creator that contained the principles of peace, equality, respect, love and justice.

He unified the nations as in a "Communal House" where each had its own fire. In the center - Onondaga Territory - The Great Peace Tree was planted, its branches represented the homes in the Confederate nations and its roots extended to the four cardinal points, invited other peoples to take refuge in it.

I think the authors purpose was to show how they all came together and that the confederacy is what kept them together kinda like how a trees roots keep it in the ground in a storm

<h2>Answer:</h2>

A week's vacation by the sea, with Holly's aunt! For the Mystery Club, there is no longer any question of playing detectives. One word on the agenda: idleness! Yes, but as soon as they arrive, Tracy notices something strange. In the middle of the bay, opposite the house, there is an island forbidden to the public: experiments were carried out there during the last war and the place is still dangerous. So how do you explain that Tracy saw lights there? Or rather, light signals. In fact of a quiet vacation, here are Holly Tracy and Belinda again on the warpath. As usual, adults don't take them seriously. However, it is a big, very big fish that they have just hooked. Of the bloodthirsty shark type, eater of overly curious teenage girls.

The mystery club - the forbidden Island is written by Fiona Kelly.

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

An active listener.

Explanation:

Be it in a day-to-day interaction or during a speech, a listener can be active or passive. A passive listener is one who is not truly paying attention. He may seem as if he is, though. But there is not real effort to understand the message. <u>An active listener, on the other hand, makes an effort to keep focused on what is being said. He tries to understand the information being presented and uses empathy to connect with the speaker.</u>
