Haudenosaunee women are considered equal to men and as such the Clanmother role is equal to Hoyane (Titled Chief).
The clanmother's duties include electing the Title Chiefs and calling a council. While the Clanmothers let the Hoyane run the councils they are not allowed to make a decision without consultation with the Title Chiefs' clan and Clanmother support. All decisions have to reach consensus for a resolution to be pasted.
