Indigenous Tribes That Survived the Times

7. Mosuo – China
Sometimes referred as “the last matrilineal society,” the Mosuo is a Chinese tribe basically run by women. They usually take care of business and jobs, while men tend to handle politics, livestock, and fishing. Children always remain in the mother’s care and take their family name.
One interesting aspect of their culture is the so-called “walking marriage,” where the man will walk to the house of his partner, spend the night with her, and walk home early the next morning.
