Tekarihogen or Dekarihokenh is the title and office of an Iroquois League sachem of the Mohawk nation. The title has been rendered in English in numerous spelling variations. The title of ''Dekarihokenh'' is hereditary through the maternal line; each office holder is a male of the Mohawk Turtle clan. He is appointed by the senior women of the clan, as the Iroquois have a matrilineal system of descent and property. Like the other sachems of the Iroquois Grand Council, the ''Dekarihokenh'' is part of the ceremonial leadership of the Iroquois, but not necessarily of the political leadership. Holders of this title included: * Hendrick Tekarihoga * John Brant ==References== *Snow, Dean R. ''The Iroquois''. Cambridge, Massachusetts: Blackwell, 1994. *Sivertsen, Barbara J. ''Turtles, Wolves, and Bears: A Mohawk Family History''. Bowie, Maryland: Heritage Books, 1996. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tekarihogen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
