In Cherokee culture, women held significant positions and enjoyed certain privileges and responsibilities.Women in Cherokee society were considered equals to men and could earn the title of War Women. They had the right to participate in councils and make decisions alongside men. This equality sometimes led outsiders to make derogatory remarks, such as the accusation of a "petticoat government" by the Irish trader Adair.Clan kinship was matrilineal among the Cherokee, meaning that family lineage and inheritance were traced through the mother''s side. Children grew up in their mother''s house, and maternal uncles held the role of teaching boys essential skills related to hunting, fishing, and tribal duties.Women owned houses and their furnishings, and marriages were often negotiated. In the event of a divorce, a woman would simply place her spouse''s belongings outside the house. Cherokee women had diverse responsibilities, including caring for children, cooking, tanning skins, weaving baskets, and cultivating fields. Men contributed to some household chores but primarily focused on hunting.Cherokee girls learned various skills by observing and participating in their community. They learned story, dancing, and acquired knowledge about their heritage. Women were integral to the Cherokee society, and their roles played a central part in the community''s functioning and adaptation to changing circumstances.
