Yes. Usually the one man one woman situation predominated as wives are cheap, but rich men did have more than one woman and nobody thought it was strange. --------------------- Yes and no. It really depends on the tribe, some tribes DID have multiple wives, especially ones with the most power. Others practised monogamy as well. In many tribes that were dependent on the crops they considered women to be the main supporter (she worked the land, planted the seeds, made them grow) and thus were usually considered more important then the man (he took her name when they married, moved in with her family). In those cases you could find one women with more then one husband as well.
