Xápék people

Xápék people are an ethnic group that is native to the Socoan Mesopotamia.

Gender roles
Xápék society is seen as matrilineal, because the inheritance being mostly passed on by women. That is because although women are considered equal, the Xápék pragmatically consider that it is better to have at least one parent taking care of the household. Considering that, most of the time, men are those who continue working to find occupations that are worth better compensations (in the mines, docks or great works construction sites), women take care of the household.
