What did Cherokee Indians live in?

The Cherokee lifestyle was one very dependent on community. Our ancestors were hunter/gatherers/farmers who lived either in earth shelters or log homes. They had a strong sense of national pride and were very concerned about their morals and religious life. It is important to remember that they were also a Matriarchal society (meaning the women owned everything, and the tribal clans followed the womans linage). However the women had no voice (at least publicly). This stayed true to the balance that every member attempted to maintain.

What are the type of clans in Somalia?

There are four main clans that are direct descendants of Irir Samale - the common ancestor of all ethnic Somalis. These four clans are: Darood, Issaq, Dir, and Hawiye. Within each clan are further divisions of tribes and confederations. All tribes and links to tribes are inherited through one's father. There are minority clans in Somalia that have origins outside of Somali. Some examples are the Benadiir, Reer Shabelle, and other clans. The ancestry of these minority clans vary and can be mixed with these groups: Bantu, Yemeni, Portuguese, Persian, Indian, Oromo, and many other groups. These clans often inhabit the southern regions of Somalia.

Are there any subgroups within the Navajo?

There were not really subgroups in the historic or present Navajo people. At least not the way that the Lakota had 7 bands such as Hunkpapa or Oglala. Nor was it like the way Scottish clans ruled various territories. The Navajo have about 84 clans placed in 21 relationship groups. All are supposed to have come from the four original clans. However, because it is considered very wrong to marry anyone in any of the four clans of your grandparents, the clans are always getting mixed up over time. For traditional people, one should not even date or go to a dance with someone in one of the four clans of your grandparents. Certain clans are more common in different areas but they don't constitute subgroups.
