INDIAN WOMEN HAD VOTE
Proof That They Took 4 Prominent
Part In the Government Of
the Five Nations.

The New York State Museum
Bulletin of April 1, 1916, is devoted
entirely to an article on f'The Con-
stitution of the Five Nations" by
Arthur G. Parker, archeologist Of
the museum, and contains guam
tity Of enlightening information on
the history of the Indian tribes of
this country. A part of the 1roquois
constitution is especially significant
"The 1ords,' or civil chiefs, were
nominated by certain noble women
in whose families the titles were he
reditary; the nominations were con-
firmed by popular councils, both of
men and women, and finally by the
confederate council. Women thus
had great power, for not only could
they nominate their rulers, but also
depose them for incompetency in Of
flee. Here, then, we find the right
Of popular nomination, the right Of
recall and woman suffrage, all -four
ishing in the old America of the Red
Man, and centuries before it became
the clamor of the new America of
the white invader. Who shall now
call Indians and Iroquois savages?"
