Read the excerpt from the Iroquois Constitution. I am Dekanawidah and with the Five Nations confederate lords I plant the Tree o
f the Great Peace. I name the tree the Tree of the Great Long Leaves. Under the shade of this Tree of the Great Peace we spread the soft white feathery down of the globe thistle as seats for you, Adodarhoh, and your cousin lords. Which is used as a symbol in the passage? 1) your cousin lords
2) I am Dekanawidah
3) soft feathery down of the globe thistle
4) the shade of this Tree
In the passage, Dekanawidah and the Five Nations confederate lords are meeting to discuss peace. The blanket of thistle is described as "soft white feathery down". White is also symbolic of a truce and peace between people. This globe thistle symbolizes a safe place of welcoming and friendship for the lords to meet an lay out the terms of their constitution.
