  2. Roles of Women • The roles of women are very inportant. • For example the Clan Mothers were very respected, because they chose the Hoyaneh and sat behind they in council. • The Other role that all women have is women’s council. Who advised the Clan mothers (as well as Men’s Council)of what the Hoyaneh were doing.

  3. Definitions • Clans : a clan was an idea by the peace maker he found out how everyone was related though the mother’s side the clan were named after animals. Ex. Wolf clan Bear clan • Peace Maker: made peace with the 5 Nations. Buried all the weapons under the biggest tree (tree of peace) eagle on top of the tree to watch over the 5 nations. Also the roots reached all the nations to connect them together in peace.

  8. Wampum Belts • Wampum’s are usually a belt or string made of beads • Wampum’s record important historical events, like treaties with Europeans or the Iroquois Confederacy. (Picture underneath) • Wampum belts were used at ceremonies and in council. • They used symbols to transfer a message. It was almost like a contract with pictures.

  9. Why is this important the government to day? • Because the idea of consensus is used in government today in a moderate version. • Also the Hoyaneh is represent their clan but now MLA’s represent their constituent.
