By matriarchal, you mean matrilineal, right? In many native cultures it is common for women to "own" the children, or more properly for children to trace their line of descent through the mother. In these societies, it is also common for women to own the houses in which people live. However, in most of these matrilineal societies, it is exceedingly uncommon for women to actually exercise leadership over the community in any kind of ruling sense, which is what matriarchy implies.

I'm no expert by any stretch of the imagination. I only know what I've read and what I've been told. Land passed through from the mother as well as many personal posessions. While there were chieftans, male leaders it was the women, the eldest who greatly influenced or made the final decisions in regards to village life. It is believed that this is one of the reasons the Chamorro people have been able to preserve so much of their culture after so many hundreds of years of foreign occupation. Especially early on, Europeans did not realize the importance and status women held in the Marianas and that is probably a good thing. Women preserved the language and customs. Men could put on western clothes, get jobs etc but it was the women who held on to the traditions and beliefs of the people.

Yeah I was thinking the exact same thing myself. I'd love a copy of one of these slings, if not a pattern for making one myself.

While I'm usually never opposed to trading I'd rather 'teach you how to fish', so to speak.
I keep notes and pictures once I have a pattern down and can put together a tutorial.
That's my preference as well. Thanks a bunch for your efforts!

great stories and love the looks of the sling pouches.
It's interesting how different cultures produce the same basic tool but witrh very different ways of holding the stone secure.
