The Iroquois clans contributed to the collective identity by providing a sense of kinship and belonging among community members. Each clan had its own distinct roles, responsibilities, and symbols, which helped foster unity and cooperation within the Iroquois society. The clans also played a vital role in governance, as clan leaders participated in decision-making processes and represented their clan's interests.
Each of the five nations of the Iroquois Confederacy—Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, and Seneca—was composed of various clans, which were extended family groups often led by a clan mother. Clans played a crucial role in governance and social structure, as decisions were made collectively, and each clan represented its interests in the larger council of the nation. The clans were matrilineal, meaning lineage and inheritance were traced through the mother's line, which empowered women in the community. This system fostered cooperation and unity among the Iroquois nations.
