SOCIETY SCRAPBOOK - a matrilineal society

Lugu Lake is the historical home of the Mosuo, an ethnic minority with a population of 40,000 that forms one of the last matrilineal societies on Earth. Situated in the mountains on the border between Sichuan and Yunnan provinces, the remoteness of the region has long preserved traditions. There was just one craggy road to the area for decades. Daytime electricity arrived 10 years ago. (Davison, 2013).
