In the quote below, RC was referring to Psycho4bud, and deserves a reply.

Here??s a little lesson in Native American family life, from Washington State University. Other than spelling ??knowledgeable? as ??knowledgable?, it's pretty good - despite being somewhat politically correct.

If you don??t have the time, or interest, in reading the whole excerpt, just read the last paragraph. Whether matricarhal, bileneal, uterine, endogamous (only marrying your relatives) or whatever ?? this is a good example of why Collectivism is not a good idea. RC has used the term "collective". Capitalism, and progress, cannot work in these types of societies.

It??s worth noting that matrilineal societies never evolved beyond the Stone Age. The Native Americans culture did not even discover the wheel - In South America, and possibly North America, they were actually using square blocks as "wheels".

When kinship is reckoned through the paternal line it is called a patrilineal or agnatic line of descent; individuals relate themselves to their father, their father's father, and all the kinship relationships of that father. In European-derived cultures, kinship descent is always patrilineal. When kinship is reckoned through the maternal line it is called a matrilineal or uterine line of descent. When both one's patrilineal and matrilineal lines of descent are equally important, kinship descent is bilateral descent. An individual in a bilateral descent group calculates their descent through both their father and mother. When your descent is reckoned either through the mother's line or the father's line, depending on your own gender, but not through both, then the kinship descent is duolineal or bilineal.

Horizontal kinship relationships, that is, your relationship to other members of the community who are not your ancestors or descendants, get their values from the vertical kinship relations. For instance, the relationship between a brother and a sister is a horizontal kinship relationship??this relationship gets its values ("brother" and "sister") because the two individuals share the same immediate parents. In a kinship-based society, individual members are very knowledgable of the their ancestry and how each other member of the society relates to them through ancestry.

Marriage, of course, adds an additional problem to this set-up. When a community does not allow marriage with members outside of the community, this is called endogamous marriage patterns. Endogamous marriage means that individuals are marrying their relatives in some way and so the lines of descent remain fairly pristine. When a community marries only members outside the community, this is called exogamous marraige patterns. Such communities incorporate the one spouse into the other spouse's community, depending on which family the married couple settles down with.

Individual married couples and nuclear families almost never settle by themselves, but they move in with or next to one of the spouse's family. In exogamous marriage cultures, then one spouse must move out of their kinship-based community and move to the other spouse's community. If a society demands that the wife move in with the husband's family or move to the husband's community, that is a patrilocal, or "father-located" kinship society. If the husband must move in with the wife's family or community, that is a matrilocal, or "mother-located" kinship community.

Native American family life fits one of two profiles. Either families include only the husband and wife and the first generation of their descendants??this is called a nuclear family. The other alternative are families in which married couples from two or more generations live together as a family??this is an extended family and was the most common family structure among Native Americans.

All societies involve some level of authority. Kinship societies closely ally that authority with kinship relations. If authority in a family group lies with the women of the family, that society is called a matriarchal, or "mother ruler" society; if authority in a family group lies with the men of the family, that is a patriarchal ("father ruler") society.

These three aspects of kinship??matrilineal versus patrilineal, matrilocal versus patrilocal, and matriarchal versus patriarchal??do not fit uniformly together. Some Native American cultures were matrilineal, patriarchal, and matrilocal. Some were patrilineal, matriarchal, and patrilocal. Some were bilateral, matriarchal, and combined matrilocality with patrilocality.
