THE KING SYSTEM OF THE ANLO'S

THE CLAN, The Anlo's are patrilineal people. Each members belong to a clan which they believe to have descended along the male line. In most of the larger settlement all of the clans are represented, sometimes more than one lineage. Lineages are defined as part of the clan in which the male and female members can trace a relationship back to a male Ancestor. The lineage in contrast to the clan is exogamous. Each lineage has its own symbol, ancestral shrine, a common property and a lineage head. The head is usually the oldest surviving member of the lineage. He leads many of the ceremonies and serves as link between the living and their Ancestors.
