Today we discussed the Iroquois Confederacy. And we talked about how marriages were arranged. . .by their Grandmothers.
When you got married, the men moved into the future wife's house with her family. Our professor asked how men's behavior would have to change to appeal to Grandma, like having to be humble. After all, the man doesn't have to provide for the wife, he lives with his inlaws.
Can you imagine have a man try and impress my dad, let alone my GRANDMA?
