In the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) society, women had significant political power. They were not excluded from political life (so A is wrong). Hunting and fishing were more male - associated activities in their traditional division of labor (so C is wrong). Men represented the clans in the Great Council (so D is wrong). Women had the power to choose and remove sachems (chiefs).
