Group activity
Tittle: commentary and critique
The learners are task to read the short story and they will give their comments or critique.
Once upon a time, in a vast and diverse land, there lived four tribes, each with its own unique way of tracing
their ancestry and kinship. These tribes were the Unilineal, Matrilineal, Patrilineal, and Bilateral tribes.
Though they all lived in harmony, their customs and family structures were distinct, shaping the lives of
their people in fascinating ways.
The Unilineal tribe believed that lineage could only be traced through a single line of descent. In this tribe,
family identity was either passed down through the mother or the father, but never both. Each family chose
one clear path to follow, ensuring that their ancestry was straightforward and focused. This gave them a
strong sense of identity but often limited the scope of their connections.
In the Matrilineal tribe, lineage was always traced through the mother. Mothers were the central figures in
the family, and heritage flowed through the female line. Children belonged to their mother’s family, and
property, titles, and responsibilities were inherited from mothers, grandmothers, and aunts. Women held
powerful roles in society, making decisions that shaped their tribe’s future. Fathers were respected, but it
was the mother’s family that determined the course of a person’s life. The Matrilineal people believed that
the nurturing strength of mothers kept the community bound together.
The Patrilineal Tribe
In the neighboring Patrilineal tribe, the father’s side of the family was dominant. Lineage and inheritance
passed through the male line, from fathers to sons. Sons carried the family name, inherited the family lands,
and continued the legacy of their ancestors. Fathers played the central role in the upbringing of their
children, while women were seen as supporters of their husband’s lineage. Though women were respected,
their roles were tied to their husband’s family, and it was the men who carried on the tribe’s heritage. The
Patrilineal tribe believed that the strength of their fathers built the foundation for a prosperous future.
Lastly, there was the Bilateral tribe, a group who saw value in both sides of the family. They believed that
lineage was equally important through both the mother and the father. In this tribe, people traced their
ancestry through both their parents’ families, inheriting from and staying connected to both sides. The
Bilateral people valued balance and saw their extended family as a wide, interconnected web. This gave
them rich family networks and a deep sense of belonging to two family lines. Decisions and inheritance
were shared, making them a close-knit community where everyone’s contributions were recognized.
A Gathering of Traditions
One year, a great festival brought the four tribes together. Around the fire, the elders spoke of their
histories and customs, sharing stories of their ancestors. As they learned about each other’s ways of life,
they realized that each tribe had something valuable to offer.
The Unilineal tribe admired the focus and clarity of their lineage, while the Matrilineal tribe valued the
wisdom passed down from strong women. The Patrilineal tribe spoke of the honor of carrying on their
father’s name, and the Bilateral tribe celebrated the richness of embracing both sides of the family.
By the end of the festival, the tribes had gained a new respect for each other’s ways of life. Though their
kinship systems were different, they saw how each one shaped a strong and resilient community. They
departed the festival with new friendships and a deeper understanding, knowing that family—whether
traced through one line or many—was the heart of every tribe.
And so, the four tribes continued their traditions, honoring their unique paths while celebrating the bonds
that connected them all.
