Tribute was a way to collect goods from the groups conquered by the Aztecs.
They would take advantage of the trading routes of the valley and the goods imported to them. The city displayed great wealth with the gold, textiles, cacao, etc. collected from the people. The significance of the tribute is that it brought wealth into the city to be distributed. 2. Matriarchy A matriarchy is when the women were the ones in the household to contain all the power or most of the power. Women were highly respected and so were head of local councils. The significance of the matriarchy is that once Columbus came and influenced the Native Americans the women, in his culture, were underneath men in the hierarchy. This would affect social hierarchy for many years in the future. 3. Animism
Animism was the Native Americans belief system where they thought that natural and spiritual world were interconnected. To fully understand the spirits they would try to interpret their dreams and visions. They would pay respects to the spirits to ask for good fortune. Men and women both had differing relationships with the spirits, women relating more to fertility and men relating more to war and hunts. The significance of animism is that it gave the Native Americans structure for their values. 4. Hiawatha Hiawatha was a leader in the Iroquois nation (specifically Mohawk) who was transformed by a spirit after the death of his family due to the battles of the nations. His values were modified so that it was more about peace and power, changing the values of the whole Iroquois nation. The significance is that the Five Nations became much more peaceful with the new confederacy. 5. Chattel
