Matriarch tribe
refers to a group of people that treat a female as at least an equal to a male.
What is the
role of a head matriarch in indigenous tribes?
The Matriarch
in our Indigenous tribe ( the Eastern Woodland American Native people) is the
oldest female (Oldest
in knowledge in culture, ceremonies and the tribe)
Oldest in this
instance refers to knowledge about the tribe and not automatically because of
the number of years.
Many times a
leader may find that an adopted person, after completing a 13 Moon ceremony,
will make the best female tribal leader, because that person has learned our
ways without outside interference and if they do go through this ceremony,
everyone knows that they really do wish to be related.
I also wrote
about this earlier on.
