Council of Nations
Chief Thunderwater was named Chieftain of the Six Iroquois Nations in 1914 and Peace Chieftain of the Supreme Council of Tribes in 1917. He split time between Canada and the United States to fulfill these duties.The latter group was a revival of the old Confederacy of Iroquois Nations and was formed to provide support for the dwindling number of Iroquois Indians living in their original homelands at this time.

Thunderwater also belonged to Cleveland's 'Business Men's Taft Club,' made up of Republican Party supporters, and personally met Presidents Wilson and Taft.
