Traditionally, the Ottawa tribe was matriarchal meaning the property belonged to the women and decisions were probably made with the women's input. As the European encroached upon them, efforts were made to convert the tribe to one that was patriarchal in nature. For example, women were forced to take their husband's last name. Nowadays, women have the same rights as the men, and can hold any position within the tribe, although it is believed that the women still are the "keepers of tradition".
