The position of "Hoyenah" is one held by the leader of Wabanaki.  The community pronounces it how it is spelled, (Hoy-en-ah). 

What is a "Hoyenah" ?

The word "Hoyenah" (also spelled hoyaneh in the real world) comes from a position from within the IRL Iroquois government, specifically being a representative of one of the 6 tribes of the Iroquois, AKA the Haudenosaunee. 

The title was used by Dayzle first back on May 6th, 2017 as simply a title one could have shown before one's name.  This was in part because Dayzle was creating a Native American themed town, and at the time was a town leader speaking on behalf of his people.  Once Dayzle became leader of the nation as a whole on July 26th, 2017, the title became the go to name for identify the leader of what was then Canada, as Dayzle did not change it.  It was unique to the community and was more fun than simply, "Prime minister" or "leader."  Another aspect that made it stick was that the word "Canada" is also from the Iroquois people (meaning village), so it only seemed fitting that the leader of the nation's title was also from the Iroquois.

During the first monthly election of the republic back in September of 2017, the title of Hoyenah was decided to be passed on with the leadership role, permanently associating the word with the leader of the republic.
