Inheritance

As part of their custom, inheritance is in the maternal lineage. When a woman dies, her daughters inherit her farm, livestock, utensils, beads, and other working tools.

Any forms of nut products are regarded as a woman’s exclusive property, while bows and arrows belong to the first son of the deceased male.
