Marx did developed and reinforce some of his ideas from studying the works of anthropologist Lewis Henry Morgan who lived among the Senecas and wrote "The League of the Iroquois" & "Ancient Society." The Haudenosuanee (Iroquois) Six Nations Confederacy, the alliance of the Senecas, Oneidas, Onondaga, Cayuga, Tuscarora & Mohawks founded, some estimate around the 11th century, had a political system based on participatory democracy & communal/collectivist, classless social organization often favoring matriarchal lines (women held veto power in councils and chose council chiefs.) Marx said the Iroquois political system was "a masterful piece of wisdom." The US constitution also borrowed their interpretation of democracy from the Iroquois Confederacy. Marx also used Morgan's work to map out the evolution of primitivist to capitalist societies and referenced the Morgan notes in his "Ethnological Notebooks." After his death, Engels used some of the notes in "Origins of the Family, Private Property and the State."
