Haudenosaunee had a collective land stewardship, which means they keep care of the lands but do know claim ownership or dominion over the land.

The One Dish, One Spoon wampum belt is a pre-contact agreement among the Haudenosaunee that states all food resources are collective and must be shared among each other. Therefore all lands were treated as a collective food stock to be share among each other. If one Nation needed food the others would share their supply and vise versa.

Lands would cleared to build a village and to collect firewood. As the lands were cleared, crops would be planted and harvested. Most notably would be the 'Three Sisters', which is corn, beans and squash. When firewood, soil quality and wild game were diminished the village would simply relocate to a nearby site. This would allow time for the original site to rejuvinate it's self.

They honored Mother Earth as they would their real mother. They cared for her and did everything to keep her safe, clean, and unadulterated.
