The Seventh Generation Principle

The Seventh Generation Principle is deeply embedded in the philosophy of the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Confederacy, which is made up of six nations: Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, Seneca, and Tuscarora. The principle itself comes from the Great Law of Peace, a constitution that outlines the governance and spiritual beliefs of the Haudenosaunee people, dating back over a thousand years. One of its central teachings is that leaders should always consider the long-term effects of their decisions on the next seven generations.

At Wild Nectar, the Seventh Generation Principle isn't just a guidepost—it's a passionate call to action. We fervently believe that the decisions we make today must not jeopardize the well-being of people seven generations into the future. This principle shines as a beacon, lighting the way for movements that champion things like environmental stewardship, good governance, and collaborative decision-making. It's not just about sustainability; it's about leaving a legacy of care, respect, and hope for the future.
