Quote"Matrilocality is the mirror image. ... Women in matrilocal societies tend to be empowered."

It would be cool to hear about some well known and documented examples there.

Look up the Navajo.  They are both matrilocal and matrilineal, though not a matriarchy.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Based on your extensive knowledge of culture within the north western area of what is now known as British Columbia?
