What roles or jobs were assigned to the women and men in the Anasazi tribe?

Answer 1

We are the mothers, the daughters, the grandmothers and sisters. We "own" the home, the children, and the final say. We are looked at as equals to men and have always had equal rights in our societies.

It is the clan mothers who listen to their clans and bring their clan's wishes together with the other clan mothers who discushiand bring the decision to the chiefs to be enacted upon. If the chiefs do not like our decision they may bring it back to the clan mothers to be discussed but it is the clan mothers who have the final say and if they do not change their minds then it is up to the chiefs to carry out their wishes. This might seem like a matriarchal society but is'NT entirely so as it is the men still stand before us as representatives of our nations and our protectors.

We are a matrilineal society and our clan and citizenships are through the mothers' lines not the fathers. This means if your mother is of the deer clan of the onondaga and your father is a bear clan of the seneca, you as their child would be a deer of the onondaga.

As far as what you may be asking what about our "traditional" roles might be then we took care of the home, and cooked and raised the children. But when men were'NT hunting or at war they were also helping raise crops in the field and tending to their children.
