Writing of the Iroquois nation, Smith has argued that through the chiefs' council, tribal chiefs traditionally maintained complete control over the political affairs of both the Iroquois tribal league and the individual tribes
(5) belonging to the league, whereas the sole jurisdiction over religious affairs resided with the shamans.
According to Smith, this division was maintained until the late nineteenth century, when the dissolution of the chiefs' council and the consequent diminishment of the
(10) chiefs' political power fostered their increasing involvement in religious affairs.
However, Smith fails to recognize that this division of power between the tribal chiefs and shamans was not actually rooted in Iroquois tradition; rather, it resulted
(15) from the Iroquois' resettlement on reservations early in the nineteenth century. Prior to resettlement, the chiefs'council controlled only the broad policy of the tribal league; individual tribes had institutions― most important, the longhouse to govern their own affairs. In the
(20) longhouse, the tribe's chief influenced both political and religious affairs.

(D) historically sound, but overly detailed and redundant
(E) persuasive in its time, but now largely outdated
