The Modoc people, an Indigenous group from the Pacific Northwest of the United States, traditionally had a social structure organized around extended families and clans. Their society was matrilineal, meaning lineage and inheritance were traced through the mother. Leadership was often provided by respected elders or chiefs, who were chosen based on their wisdom and ability to lead. Additionally, communal cooperation was vital for survival, particularly in hunting and gathering activities.
