In pre-Columbian North American tribes, women often held significant roles within their societies, contributing to agriculture, gathering, and family life. Many tribes practiced matrilineal descent, meaning lineage and inheritance were traced through the mother's line, granting women authority in social and political matters. They frequently participated in decision-making processes and held positions as leaders, healers, or spiritual figures. Overall, women's roles varied widely among tribes, reflecting the diverse cultural practices and social structures of indigenous peoples across the continent.
