The Iroquois tribes were a confederation of 5 tribes. Each tribe had it's own laws and government. They were more representative then most governments. If you consider the established shared influence of women as a hallmark of democracy, well then they were the most democratic of their time.
So what happened to the Iroquois tribes? They were split up and destroyed by siding on both sides of a factional fight between two almost democratic societies, Britain and the USA.
