**** Cultural Tidbits ****
**************************

The Cherokee society is traditionally a matrilineal society. The women passed the clan to their children, and owned the property. It was the responsibility of her oldest brother to teach her children of Cherokee traditions and spirituality. The method of divorce was for the woman to pack up the man's clothing, and set it outside of the house.
