Clanship

Clanship is a social structure where a group of people, known as a clan, share a common ancestor or heritage, often linked through familial ties. Members of a clan typically support each other within a community, uphold shared traditions, and often have specific rights or responsibilities tied to their lineage. This system helps organize social life, land ownership, and responsibilities, creating a sense of identity and belonging among its members. Clanship has historically been significant in various cultures, especially among indigenous and tribal societies, serving as a basis for social cohesion and collective identity.
