In each of the Mohawk communities approximately fifty-percent of the population resorts to their traditional form of government through the Hotinonsonni. They govern themselves through the "Kaianerekowa" which, translated into English, means "The Great Law of Peace". The Kaianerekowa defines the constitutional responsibilities of the Hotinonsonni; all their people, women as well as men, are represented and have control of their government. Historians have recently admitted that the government of the United States of America was patterned from the Kaianerekowa of the Hotinonsonni which is a current form of democratic government.

Dans chacune des communautés mohawks, environ la moitié de la population vit sous la forme traditionnelle de gouvernement des Hotinonsonnis qui observe la Kaianerekowa, ou Grande loi de la paix. La Kaianerekowa définit les responsabilités constitutionnelles de Hotininsonnis et l'ensemble de la population, tant hommes que femmes, est représenté au sein du gouvernement et exerce un contrôle sur ce dernier. Des historiens admettaient récemment que le gouvernement des États-Unis d'Amérique a été façonné d'après la Kaianerekowa des Hotinonsonnis, formule tout à fait actuelle de gouvernement démocratique.
