Yes. Traditionally, marriage was a civil matter for our People, not a religious one. Sam-sex marriages were also not uncommon. A famous case was Pitamakan (English: Running Eagle. She was born as Brown Weasel Woman) who took a wife to look after her family while she went to war. Generally, men were responsible for marriage, but women had the option of refusing them. Wealthy men (or women who took a man's role in life, IE married other women) practiced polygamy and marrying the sisters of the primary wife was common. An exchange of horses and clothing took place between the betrothed and they were considered married. Children belong to the clan of the father
