What is the family structure for Cherokee?

Answer 1

The Cherokee were a hunting and gathering people with a matrilineal family structure. The women grew corn, squash and sweet potatoes. There were seven clans in the tribe and young people had to marry outside of their clan. Because of the matrilineal family structure inheritance was based upon the mother of a child so there was no discrimination against children born into the tribe from non-Cherokee fathers.

Answer 4

Cherokee families were made up of 'clans' and the women held the clan name and all property, but had no voice in government. Your elders would live with you and care for (teach) children, the able bodied would work, and the children of course would stay home to learn. Families could range from just a few, to large numbers of people depending entirely on the environment and 'wealth' of the clan. Wealth means its ability to support all of its members.
