The Seven Generations principle remains a core value in modern Haudenosaunee culture.

The term is also used in reference to intergenerational trauma.

Vine Deloria, Jr. gave a slightly different angle on the principle. Deloria said the principle as explained to him referred to protecting and revering the seven generations closest to one's own: the current generation, the three previous generations, and three future generations. Deloria disliked the romanticism in the popular usage of the term.
