Being a Palauan

Description:
Palauan men praise women and state their pride, "Women are strong; men are weak". But men do the planning and make the decisions. This is no more strange to a Palauan than the fact that many children whose biological parents are still alive are adopted many times, and that material advantage should accure from these transactions to several kinsmen of the child.
