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.
