In Southeast Morocco, the representations of kinship, as revealed by the study of the Origin myth, are a testimony for the group attachement to uterin values. Theses values proceed forme the exclusively feminine ancestry up to the eponym ancestro and, also, from the milk-kinship, considered by women as a twe affiliation. In this society, often discoibed as full patrilinear, local perceptions of kinship illustrate the permanent alternance of agnatic ideolgy and uterin references.
