The Tak-Mi-Lah practice matrilineal Polyandry.
The purpose of marriage for the Tak-Mi-Lah is to produce children. given the harshness of living a nomadic lifestyle, the strategy of many fathers is to better ensure children make it to adult hood. Since only the mother can proove direct relation, all the husbands are invested. Young men will travel to other groups to woo and impress daughters of the clan. If she likes what she sees, and thinks he'll provide well for her children she can appeal to her mother for approval.
The husband to be brings with him his personal property. Any wealth he has becomes part of his value to his new bride.
This arrangement is reinforced through their religious belief in a Mother Goddess, the magical ability of women to birth children, and socially as women hold the political power.
Even an unmarried male may remain with his mother's family, protecting his siblings, neices and nephews, and cousins.

In every tribal group there is one woman who holds the title of Clan Creche Mother. Usually a woman unable to have offspring of her own fills the role. All parentless children become hers by tradition. After this point they are treated as though they were her biological offspring and afforded the same rights in society as any other woman's children would be. It is rare, but possible that the Creche Mother becomes the matriarch of her own clan, when the existant Matriarch dies, and the clan divides along the lines of her daughters.
