The Iroquois did not allow war chiefs to participate in the Confederate Council because their role was primarily focused on military matters, while the council was dedicated to diplomatic decision-making and governance. The council comprised civil leaders who prioritized consensus, diplomacy, and maintaining peace among the member nations. This separation ensured that strategic military decisions did not overshadow the political and social objectives of the confederation. By keeping war chiefs out, the Iroquois aimed to uphold a balance between peace and war within their governance structure.
