"The Seneca title of this sculpture translates to: "The Great Law Puts the Matter Straight." With its time-honored message of health, power and justice, The Great Law of Peace unites the Six Nations of the Hodinöhsö:ni' (the Seneca, Cayuga, Onondaga, Oneida, Mohawk and Tuscarora). The Ever Growing Tree wampum belt wrapping the figure in this sculpture symbolizes the Great Law. Artist Norman Jimerson wants the viewer to understand its central importance-it is the Great Law that allows the Hodinöhsö:ni' to "stand straight.""

— Walt Whitman, “As Consequent, etc.,” in WHITMAN (The Laurel Poetry Series).
