This title is mostly commonly written as "Clan Mother". BradMajors (talk) 22:04, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
This article needs a complete re-write in an encyclopaedic tone. Unfortunately, I don't know anything about the topic; I just happened to stumble onto the article, and removed one piece of obvious jokery (what some might call "vandalism" but I don't). I would like to fix the article completely, but I don't feel qualified. I'll look at it one more time.
Is it possible this isn't a notable topic? Perhaps the article should be deleted? Anybody?
Large parts of the section on Hopi clan mothers, quite frankly, seem more like some sort of odd feminist fantasy than a cohesive depiction of the society (even if it is completely accurate). The odd mentioning of a "standing army" and heavy overusage of quotes with incredibly large skips within them and many corrections from the source makes the whole paragraph both hard to read and to some extent even makes it seem suspicious.
Furthermore, it only actually mentions clan mothers as an aside in the very last sentence of the second paragraph. That seems like a rather undesirable thing in an article about clan mothers.

@A.S. Brown: please rewrite your additions to not past-tense living cultures, people and communities. If discussing something that was more common in the past and is less common now, we can use phrasings like, "Traditionally, " or "Historically, " etc. - CorbieVreccan ☊ ☼ 20:21, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
Additionally, the entire article has this problem in places. It needs to be cleaned up throughout, not made worse. - CorbieVreccan ☊ ☼ 20:23, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
Let's add some sources. Those that we know have content we need, or that might have some, or for sourcing things we know but need third party cites for.
"On Thursday October 27, 2022 at the Quebec Superior Court, Montreal District, the Kanien’kehá:ka Kahnistensera (Mohawk Mothers) made history as Justice Gregory Moore granted an interlocutory injunction to immediately halt “any excavation in furtherance of the redevelopment of the Allan Memorial Institute or the Royal Victoria Hospital” until the parties have completed discussions regarding the best archaeological practices to be used. ... This landmark decision was the first time in Canada that self-represented Indigenous people won an injunction without using attorneys and based on their own governance system, the Kaianerehkowa (Great Peace)."
