The Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Confederacy made decisions with the seventh generation in mind. Not the next quarter. Not the next election. The next 175 years.
Most estate plans expire in two generations. The trust distributes. The assets dissipate. The family's accumulated wisdom evaporates. This is not a failure of the family—it is a failure of the architecture.
Seven-generation thinking requires instruments that perpetuate. Governance structures that renew themselves. Educational frameworks that transmit not just wealth but the philosophy behind the wealth. A family that understands why they steward will outlast a family that merely knows what they own.
This is the deepest work we do. Not drafting documents—architecting continuity. Grace can explore what this means for your family specifically.
