No tribe 'owned' the land, in the modern use of the word - per se - as the belief system was so far removed from European ownership ideals that it does not translate correctly even today.

There were several matriarchal societies; the Cherokee for instance were Matriarchal, the women owned everything except for 'trophies' held by the men, and if the man left her he left behind everything but his own personal belongings.
