Likewise, constant warfare for furs altered the dynamics of
tribal politics by shifting power from cautious elders to headstrong
young warriors. The sachems (chiefs), one group of Seneca
warriors said scornfully, ‘were a parcel of Old People who say
much but who Mean or Act very little.’ The position and status of
women changed in especially complex ways. Traditionally,
eastern woodland women had a voice in political councils because
they were the chief providers of food and handcrafted goods. As a
French Jesuit noted of the Iroquois, ‘The women are always the first
to deliberate…on private or community matters. They hold their councils
apart and…advise the chiefs…,so that the latter may deliberate on them in
their turn.’ The disruption of farming by warfare and the influx of
European goods undermined the economic basis of women’s power.

eroded due to continuous warfare and an influx of
European trade goods. These two events shifted
village power away from tribal elders and women
to the strongest warriors. As a result of these
internal power shifts, roughly two-thirds of native
tribes began to rely almost exclusively on warfare
to acquire the necessary goods they needed for
simple survival.

Conclusion
• If the paragraph is entirely your own opinion, no
documentation is needed.
• If the paragraph contains both your opinion, and

must be documentation
• Pretty much every paragraph in your paper should
have sources
• The citations need to come within, or at the end of
each paragraph, not simply in a bibliography at the
end of the paper.
