In the 1400, Hiawatha started the Iroquois league. They had a council of 50 leaders, known as sachems. Sachems could be male or female. This council made policy decisions affecting the Native Americans who were part of the Iroquois league. These sachems were chosen by the eldest woman in each tribe and could be removed by her if she was not pleased by their performance. Sachems had to represent the viewpoint of their tribes, not their personal beliefs. Decisions made by sachems had to be unanimous. In addition to sachems, honorary members were chosen by each tribe to serve as pine trees. These representatives (both men and women) couldn't vote on matters, yet they were extremely influential. The fire keeper was the central chief, like our president.
