Exercise 33
Writing of the Iroquois nation, Smith has argued that
through the chiefs' council, tribal chiefs traditionally
maintained complete control over the political affairs of
both the Iroquois tribal league and the individual tribes
belonging to the league, whereas the sole jurisdiction over
religious affairs resided with the shamans. He contended
that this division was maintained until the late nineteenth
century. However, Smith fails to recognize that this division
of power between the tribal chiefs and shamans was not
actually rooted in Iroquois tradition; rather, it resulted from
the Iroquois' resettlement on reservations early in the
nineteenth century. Prior to resettlement, the chiefs' council
controlled only the broad policy of the tribal league;
individual tribes had institutions― most important, the
longhouse― to govern their own affairs. In the longhouse,
the tribe's chief influenced both political and religious
affairs.
