In the Iroquois community, women are the keepers of culture. They are responsible for defining the political, social, spiritual, and economic norms of the tribe. Iroquois society is matrilineal, meaning descent is traced through the mother rather than through the father, as it was in colonial society. While Iroquois sachems (chiefs) are men, women nominated them and make sure they are fulfilling their responsibilities.

*We Honor all women with the New Women's Shuffle Dance
• It is called "New", because this is the Social Dance form and also, these are songs that are newly composed on a continuous basis. There is a bi-annual gathering called "The Sing" held in a rotating basis among the Iroquoian communities with participating Singing Societies. The attending Singing Societies sing sets of these new songs before gathering for a meeting to report on their activities since the last "Sing". The "Sings" are usually held in April and November.
• There is a separate form of the dance that is ceremonial, with songs that are ancient.
