The Great Peacemaker Deganawida or Tekanaw|!:ta,
responsible for the founding of the Haudenosaunee,
also called the Iroquois Confederacy, is discussed on
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Peacemaker .
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."
