INDIAN SMOKE SIGNALS
ON THE STATUS OF WOMEN IN THE TRIBE
Women had votes among the Indians ages before they were accorded the privilege in Europe. They had a voice in all national affairs and could rise to the chieftainship. In many Tribes, the High Chief was a woman. These were called Women Sachems, Rowainers, or Rainbow Women, according to the Tribe to which they belonged.
In most Tribes, the woman is the owner of the home and of the children, and of whatever is in the home. The man owns the horses, cattle, and crops, and whatever he produces or secures with his own hands.
But when game is killed, or crops harvested and brought into the house, they become the property of the wife.
