The Haudenosaunee peoples, which are in New York and Canada, are known to be matriarchal. In society, the descendants were traced by the mother, not the father. Although the tribal chiefs are men, the women, Clan Mothers, nominated them and made sure they fulfilled their responsibilities. The Clan Mothers were leaders of their clan and around 50 of them were controlling the "sachems" or chiefs in the Haudenosaunee government. If the sachems were not good, the Clan Mothers had the right to remove them.

Judaism is not inherently a Matriarchal religion, or has strong matriarchal teachings in it's philosphy, but there are various Matriarchal elements in the belief. According to Halakha, a collective body of Jewish religious laws derived from The Old Testament and Oral Torah, and later codified in various Jewish texts: Matrilineal descent determines Jewish identity, meaning if one's mother is Jewish, they are considered Jewish as well. A person who is born to a non-Jewish mother and a Jewish father is regarded as Zera Yisrael ("Seed of Israel") and will only be accepted as ethnically Jewish and not religiously Jewish. This principle has been a fundamental aspect of Jewish law for centuries, with roots in the Torah.
