The clans' relative status had no effect on relationships outside of Clan Gatherings. At home, each clan was fully autonomous. However, while the clans were gathered, their relative status determined the hierarchy of each person. Status dictated which clans got the most favorable locations, who led the hunts, who received prominent roles in the Bear Ceremony, and who was served first. The leader of the highest-ranked clan became, in effect, the leader of the entire Clan, because he was the highest-ranking member. However, as a practical matter, clans were left to govern themselves even during the Clan Gathering.

abstract	The clans' relative status had no effect on relationships outside of Clan Gatherings. At home, each clan was fully autonomous. However, while the clans were gathered, their relative status determined the hierarchy of each person. Status dictated which clans got the most favorable locations, who led the hunts, who received prominent roles in the Bear Ceremony, and who was served first. The leader of the highest-ranked clan became, in effect, the leader of the entire Clan, because he was the highest-ranking member. However, as a practical matter, clans were left to govern themselves even during the Clan Gathering. A clan's status was determined at the end of the Clan Gathering by several factors: the clan's performance in the men's and women's competitions, the relative positions of its mog-ur and medicine woman, the capability of its leader, and the history of the clan's status. The men's competitions consisted of the following events: wrestling, sling-hurling, bola-throwing, arm strength with the use of a club, running, more complicated running-and-spear-stabbing races, toolmaking, dancing, storytelling, and the combination of both in dramatic hunt reenactments. The women's competitions carried less weight than the men's competitions and were more subtle. The women's competitions were less about performance and more about showing off what they could make. Status was awarded to those clans whose women cooked the best meals and made the best crafts. Even their babies were compared. The factor that tied all other factors together, and was therefore the most important, was the skill of the leader. Performance in the men's competitions showed how well the leader had trained and motivated them. How hard the women worked and how well they behaved showed how well the leader guided them. Part was based on adherence to Clan tradition. However, the most important was the leader's strength of character: the knowledge of when to hold to a decision and when to yield, when to be forceful and when to be conciliatory, and when to stand alone and when to call for consensus.
