In Iroquois tribes, the social structure was matrilineal, meaning lineage and inheritance were traced through women. Women held significant power, particularly in decision-making within the family and community, and they were responsible for agricultural production and the management of resources. Men typically engaged in hunting, warfare, and diplomacy, but their roles were often seen as complementary to those of women, emphasizing a balanced partnership in social and economic life. This distinctive division of labor and power dynamics contributed to the overall stability and governance of Iroquois society.
