Who picked the iroquoid clan tribal chief?

The Hopi (in what is now the Hopi Reservation in northeastern Arizona), according to Alice Schlegel, had as its "gender ideology ... one of female superiority, and it operated within a social actuality of sexual equality."[1] According to Diana LeBow (based on Schlegel's work), in the Hopi, "gender roles ... are egalitarian [and] [n]either sex is inferior."[2] LeBow concluded that Hopi women "participate fully in ... political decision-making."[3] According to Schlegel, "the Hopi no longer live as they are described here"[4] and "the attitude of female superiority is fading".[4] Schlegel said the Hopi "were and still are matrilinial"[5][a] and "the household ... was matrilocal".[5][b]

Schlegel THIS IS SO LIKE C there was female superiority as that the Hopi believed in "life as the highest good ... [with] the female principle ... activated in women and in Mother Earth ... as its source"[6] and that the Hopi "were not in a state of continual war with equally matched neighbors"[7] and "had no standing army"[7] so that "the Hopi lacked the spur to masculine superiority"[7] and, within that, as that women were central to institutions of clan and household and predominated "within the economic and social systems (in contrast to male predominance within the political and ceremonial systems)",[7] the Clan Mother, for example, being empowered to overturn land distribution by men if she felt it was unfair,[6] since there was no "countervailing ... strongly centralized, male-centered political structure"

social status of early civilizations was based primarily on economic power.- true ( first choice)

the answer is selfishly. hope this !
