adj.易洛魁族人;
n.[地名] [加拿大、美国] 易洛魁;
英文例句/中文翻译:
A son was never chosen to succeed his father as sachem, since mother-right prevailed among the Iroquois and the son consequently belonged to a different gens; but the office might and often did pass to a brother of the previous sachem or to his sister's son.
由于易洛魁人奉行母权制,因而酋长的儿子属于别一氏族,所以从不选举前一酋长的儿子做酋长,而是往往选举他的兄弟做酋长,或者选举他的姊妹的儿子做酋长。
In what sense the offices of sachem and chieftain were hereditary among the Iroquois and other Indians, we have already seen.
我们已经看到,易洛魁人和其它印第安人的酋长职位是怎样继承的。
Among the Iroquois the final decision had to be unanimous, as was also the case in regard to many decisions of the German mark communities.
在易洛魁人中间,最后的决定需要一致通过,跟德意志人的马尔克公社在作出某些决定时一样。
