	Indonesia - Minangkabau
		According to a 1980 study by anthropologist Joel S. Kahn, there is a general pattern of residence among the Minangkabau in which sisters and unmarried lineage members try to live close to one another, or even in the same house.
		Since the Minangkabau men, like the Acehnese men, often merantau (go abroad) to seek experience, wealth, and commercial success, the women's kin group is responsible for maintaining the continuity of the family and the distribution and cultivation of the land.
		Minangkabau were prominent among the intellectual figures in the independence movement of Indonesia.

	Matriarchy and Islam Post 9/11: The Case of the Minangkabau of Indonesia
		In the Minangkabau case matriarchy is a system of interlocking public symbols and ritual practices focused on the maternal household, clan land, and the life cycle.
		From the Minangkabau case I conclude that the key to matriarchy is in cultural systems constituted by first principles and dominant symbols rooted in maternal meanings.
		It is one the Minangkabau strive to achieve within the context of the world they call alam Minangkabau, a world which is woven by the "three stranded rope" consisting of adat, Islam, and local government.

	Matriarchs of Sumatra - The World and I Magazine
		The homeland of the Minangkabau is the group of valleys surrounding Mt. Merapi, high in the interior of Sumatra.
		It is the communal--and inalienable--ownership of the land that is the crucial function of the lineage.
		That the Minangkabau never developed the finely graduated systems of rank and social distinctions that one finds on the islands of Java or Bali may be taken as a further indication of the inward focus on family and cooperation within it rather than an outward concern with status or competition.

		Nog altijd is het zo dat de man bij het huwelijk de bruid- of in dit geval dus de bruidegomsschat ontvangt.
		Wat wel een bedreiging vormt is de westerse macho-cultuur zoals die in b-fims op de tv en in de bioscopen te zien is. Onder invloed hiervan gaan jongeren zich in toenemende mate verzetten tegen de oude matriarchale verhoudingen.
		Aan het traditionele Minangkabau huis wordt overigens steeds een extra puntdak toegevoegd, wanneer moeder of oma (binnen de matriarchale Minangkabause samenleving de baas in huis) een schoonzoon rijker is. Iedere dochter heeft een eigen kamer waar ze haar man, die vaak alleen s'nachts komt, ontvangt.
