Explanation:

Matrilineage is a lineage system in which, in opposition to patrilineage, the ascription of the individual is carried out by the mother, so that the main family ancestors are relatives of the mother. Each individual is considered principal or only descending from the mother, forming part of their family group or clan, and sharing the family property or inheritance with the other relatives of the mother -which include their siblings, maternal uncles, maternal grandmother, uncles grandparents maternal, etcetera.

The fraternal succession (succession mode in which one brother succeeds another) is usually matrilineal (that is, a maternal brother happens), as well as the succession through the male child of a sister (inheritance regime used, for example, by ancient Ashanti), although the fraternal succession can also be patrilineal (succession through a paternal brother). Another matrilineal succession is that in which a daughter succeeds her mother.

Examples of matrilineal societies are found in several native peoples of North America, such as the Cherokee, Choctaw, Gitxsan, Haida, Hopi, Iroquois and Navajo.
