Question

In which of the following groups was work divided equally between men and women?

Answer 1

Answer: c. Cherokees

Explanation:

The Cherokee were said to operate an egalitarian society where men and women were equal and depended on one another to survive by dividing work equally between men and women.

The society was even matrilineal in nature in that the family line came from the mothers. Women were allowed to vote in council meetings and therefore had power.

This changed however when the patriarchal Europeans arrived and disrupted the social cultures of the Native Americans.
