Patrilineal
The Inuit tribe is traditionally patrilineal, where descent is traced through the male line. However, women also play important roles in Inuit society and decision-making processes.

An example of a patrilineal society is the Maasai of East Africa. In this society, lineage and inheritance are traced through the male line, meaning that property, names, and titles are passed down from father to son. This structure shapes social organization, marriage practices, and roles within the community, emphasizing the importance of male lineage in maintaining family and tribal identity.

One has to do with mothers and one has to do with fathers..... Breaking up the word in Matrilineal you have Matri mean Maternal and lineal meaning lineage. Lineage deals with your Kinship grouping, or family tree. In the United States, and many other countries, work as a Bilineal, bi meaning two or both, society which means that the baby who is born into a Bilineal society is considered a part of both the father and mother family lines. So in a Matrilineal society a baby born into this type of society will only have a family tree from his/her mothers' family line. Then for Patrilineal societies, breaking it up into two words meaning Paternal meaning father, and lineage, meaning family line, the baby will only be considered apart of his/her fathers' family line. In matrilineal and patrilineal societies there can sometime be a difference in how much power each parent has. But to answer your question the difference between a matrilineal and a patrilineal societies are what family line a child born into each society is considered a part of. The child can either be a part of the mothers' line (matrilineal) or the fathers' line (patrilineal) depending on the society.
No
In a patrilineal society, lineage and inheritance are traced through the male line, meaning that family name, property, and social status are passed down from fathers to their children, typically sons. In contrast, a matrilineal society traces lineage through the female line, with inheritance and family connections following the mother’s side, often emphasizing the role of women in passing down property and lineage. This fundamental difference impacts social structures, roles, and relationships within each type of society.
