It is the responsibility of the Clan Mother to look out for the well-being of the clan by overseeing the actions of the Chief and ensuring that he is performing his duties in accordance with the Great Law.
If a Chief acted improperly or was not living up to his responsibilities his Clan Mother and Faith Keepers would warn him about his actions. If he continued to act selfishly the Clan Mother, after consultation with members of her clan had the ability to resolve the issue by symbolically removing his antlers, thus removing his authority as Chief.
