This portrait reflects on the influence of Iroquois women—proto-feminists— the Suffragists, including Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Matilda Joslyn Gage. These women lived in Seneca Falls, New York, which is part of the Western New York land base that Iroquois people have continually occupied. The Seneca Nation is matrilineal: tribal enrollment, clan identity, land ownership, and historically nominating our leaders is the domain of Iroquois women, who have always had the right to vote.
