— Plains Indians Life, Beliefs and Practices —
The status of women in Plains culture was decidedly higher than is often assumed. The wife was the joint owner of family property and had general control and custody of the children. Marriages, divorces, places of residence and monetary matters were all subject to a woman's influence. Her opinion held weight in camp decisions and in the formation of a husband's views. Women seldom sat in council, but the men often spoke for their wives.| HM Number | HM12HY |
