the clan mothers
In an Iroquois tribe, there are typically 49 clan mothers, one from each of the 49 clans that make up the Iroquois Confederacy. Each clan mother holds significant authority and responsibility, including the selection and removal of chiefs and the maintenance of social and cultural traditions. The role of clan mothers is central to the governance and social structure of the Iroquois.

The number of clan mothers in a tribe can vary significantly depending on the tribe's size, structure, and cultural practices. Generally, each clan within a tribe may have its own clan mother, so the total number will reflect the number of clans present. Clan mothers play a crucial role in decision-making and maintaining traditions, so their presence is essential for the tribe's governance and social structure. Ultimately, the specific number is determined by the tribe's customs and needs.
