What are the different gender relations within the Navajo tribe? The Navajo people have different marriage traditions, customs, and labor within the male and female people of the tribe. The Navajo people lives by a matrilineal system. This is where women own livestock and land. Once married, a Navajo man would move to live with his bride in her home, along with her mother, and his wife’s clan. Daughters or if there were no daughters, other closely related females are traditionally the ones who received the inheritance of their property. The property could be that of a dwelling, or livestock. The children are "born to" and belong to the mother's clan, and are "born for" the father's clan. The clan system is exogamous. This means that the people must date and marry people who are outside of their own clans.

The Navajo family is usually a nuclear one that consists of the husband, his wife and their children living in small wooden and mud houses called a Hogan, and live in small communities with other families. Although the mother is the main nurturer and authority figure of the family, the father still plays a large role in helping the mother raise the children and teaching them manners and their legends and chants. It is also the father’s responsibility for punishing and teaching respect to his children. And as his sons’ get older, it is not uncommon for the father to become his sons’ companion.
