What is the Iroquois grand council?

Answer 1

The Great Law of Peace established a Grand Council made up of 50 chiefs who represented the nations of the Confederacy. Nations with large populations had more chiefs than smaller nations, but they were all equal to one another.

• The Mohawk Nation had nine chiefs.
• The Oneida Nation had nine chiefs.
• The Onondaga Nation had fourteen chiefs.
• The Cayuga Nation had ten chiefs.
• The Seneca Nation had eight chiefs.

The Tuscarora, who were not part of the original five nations named in the Great Law of Peace, were represented by the Chiefs of the Oneida.The clan mother could remove a chief who was not doing he's job properly. A chief might lose his position for

• committing a serious crime such as murder
• refusing to attend meetings of the Grand Council
• not listening to and representing the views of the people
• disobeying the Great Law
• not acting with the welfare of the people in mind

New chiefs were chosen by the clan mothers. The clan mothers also ensured that all decisions made by the Grand Council agreed with the Great Law of Peace. They carefully watched over discussions and made sure that all voices were heard and treated respectfully. They pointed out any they saw to the chiefs.
