    The laws laid out in the Longhouse Religion are similar to the commandments handed down by the Christian prophet, Moses.11 Both were received through divine communications that no one else was privy to, both are non-negotiable and to be followed to the letter, both prohibit harmful behaviors, and both are specific to the people receiving these edicts. The Christian commandments are for the chosen people, who reside under the authority of the male head of household. Handsome Lake’s Code, however, was modeled after Hammurabi’s Code even though the tenants were influenced by local Christian missionaries.12 Like the Ten Commandments, Handsome Lake 's codes are similarly addressed to a chosen people, but not through a head-of-household. Instead,…
