That would depend upon the tribe. Some were matriarchal which meant the women owned the homes and belongings and children. Some were patriarchal. The Iroquois federation actually had an articles of confederation that the US Constitution was based upon. Generally, there was a leader but depending upon the tribe, he could be born to the leadership or elected. People chose to follow him or he could leave. Some tribes had a council of elders who oversaw the traditions of the tribe. You would have to be more specific about which tribe.
