How were clans important in Native American societies?
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Clans were important to the Native Americans as a part of the extended family. When a person was born of a certain clan, they were able to identify with other members of that clan.

"Stark" is a European name, most native american's did not have names like this instead they belonged to 'clans.' Stark is German in origin and means: Strong, Firm or Stout (from a quick search).
There is no most important thing in clash of clans.
Families were and are so important to the American Indian for many of the same reasons they are in any culture. Many natives knew it was important to have their tribes continue through the children. It was also often believed that the earth was borrowed from those children and had to be returned to them. The children, in turn, would borrow it from their children. All the tribes loved their children.
There are really no "Native American" beliefs. Tribes, and even clans within those tribes, sometimes have very different beliefs. Traditional believers have a deep love and respect for Creator and all His gifts. They honor His world and thereby Honor Him. Beyond that, beliefs can and do vary dramatically.
Only Native American in the tribes in the coastal Northwest carved "totem poles". They are pretty close in cultural meaning to the heraldic coats or arms and mottoes and banners and shields of important or noble families in medieval and early modern Europe. Important northwest clans and clans and families had hereditary rights to stories and images that symbolized their origins. They had those images carved on poles by artists and put up in front of their large houses to indicate who was living there and what their lineage was.
they stopped being nomadic and settled to protect their clans from the hoard.
So they can have a social organization
