Thanks Www@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: It depends on the tribe - some were matrilineal (children take their mother's clan), others were patrilineal (taking the father's clan)!. As an example of the first of these (among the Navajo) see http://www!.lapahie!.com/Dine_Clans!.cfmWww@QuestionHome@Com most of the time the children wold belong to their fathers tribe !.Www@QuestionHome@Com |
