The Iroquois was a matrilineal tribe, meaning the Iroquois women owned their homes and children. They were divided into clans and each clan had a clan mother. Many families often lived together in longhouses. Each clan protected each other.
One Iroquois clan typically has one chief. The chief is selected based on their leadership qualities and is responsible for making decisions and representing the clan in matters of governance and diplomacy.

The Oneida tribe, part of the Iroquois nation.
The Iroquois used canoes for fishing, trading, transportation and transporting items like corn, other foods and animal skins.
When a new Iroquois husband joined his wife’s family, the clan simply made the longhouse longer by adding more bent saplings to the frame and elm bark slabs to the roof. A clan's family totem would be displayed on the doorway.
The Iroquois used animals as a means of survival. Animal skins and furs were used to make clothes and blankets to keep warm.
