A grand council is an executive council which holds a large amount of power in its respective governmental system, and often assists a governor or chief executive. In the case of the Iroquois, the Iroquois Grand Council is an assembly of fifty chiefs representing all the clans of all its member nations. Formerly they met yearly to resolve disputes between clans and to plan how to best protect its member nations and their people's welfare.
