In the 1400, Hiawatha started the Iroquois league. They had a council of 50 leaders, known as sachems. Sachems could be male or female. This council made policy decisions affecting the Native Americans who were part of the Iroquois league. These sachems were chosen by the eldest woman in each tribe and could be removed by her if she was not pleased by their performance. Sachems had to represent the viewpoint of their tribes, not their personal beliefs. Decisions made by sachems had to be unanimous. In addition to sachems, honorary members were chosen by each tribe to serve as pine trees. These representatives (both men and women) couldn't vote on matters, yet they were extremely influential. The fire keeper was the central chief, like our president.

Sachems, or leaders, are appointed to the Grand Council of the Iroquois Confederacy by the clan mothers, who are the matriarchs of each clan. The clan mothers hold significant authority in this process, as they select and nominate sachems based on their wisdom and leadership qualities. This system reflects the Iroquois' matrilineal structure, where lineage and social position are traced through the female line.

The chiefs of the Iroquois tribes, known as the Haudenosaunee or Six Nations, were typically referred to as "sachems." Each tribe, including the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, Seneca, and Tuscarora, had its own council of sachems, who were chosen based on their lineage and wisdom. Decisions were made collectively in a council, emphasizing consensus and cooperation among the tribes. The Great Law of Peace guided their governance, promoting unity and balance within the confederacy.
