   It links to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jigonhsasee   
   which says at the end:   
      
   "Some scholars have suggested that the constitution of   
   the Iroquois Confederacy influenced colonists who drafted   
   the U.S. Constitution, and while there is no academic   
   consensus on this, the United States Senate passed a   
   resolution in 1988 acknowledging the Iroquois Confederacy   
   of Nations' influence."
