Ah-Weh-Eyu of the Iroquois Tribe
Ah-Weh-Eyu of the Iroquois tribe resided in the territories that later became Ontario, Canada as well as Upstate New York as far back as the 1500s. At that time, the tribespeople set up a political network complete with houses of legislature and representatives. This network is similar to the political system used in the U.S. today. But what does Ah-Weh-Eyu mean? It translates to pretty flower in Iroquois.
