Who were the chiefs of the Iroquois tribes?

The chiefs of the Iroquois tribes, known as the Haudenosaunee or Six Nations, were typically referred to as "sachems." Each tribe, including the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, Seneca, and Tuscarora, had its own council of sachems, who were chosen based on their lineage and wisdom. Decisions were made collectively in a council, emphasizing consensus and cooperation among the tribes. The Great Law of Peace guided their governance, promoting unity and balance within the confederacy.
