The Haudenosaunee (People of the Longhouse) Address to the Western World, offered to the UN in Geneva, Switzerland, May 17, 2013. This document comprises a powerful message given by the Hau de no sau nee (or traditional Six nations council at Onondaga) also called the Iroquois Confederacy to the Non-governmental Organizations (NGOs) of the United Nations. In an unprecedented move, the UN meeting was relocated to Geneva, Switzerland to bypass illegal impediments implemented by the settler-colonial regime in Washington D.C., which did not want this message of peace and understanding to go out.

Thoreau argues that individuals should not permit governments to overrule or atrophy their consciences, and that they have a moral duty to avoid allowing a government to make them the agents of injustice. Thoreau was motivated to write this essay by his disgust with the U.S. system of enslavement and the illegal land grab commonly referred to in the U.S. as the Mexican-American War (1846-1848), and in Mexico as the Intervención Estadounidense en México (U.S. intervention into Mexico).
