The blogspot journal clan mother systems

Hey All...
I am still kinda new to this, but I am just browsing over the clan mother systems and I feel like i really don't know what is going on....I dunno I am just a simple kind of student I suppose where things have to almost spelled out for me...but I am really do not understand the precept of clan mother systems. From the blog i didn't get much so I went about a search on google to make a connection or even find more background or understanding. As I am reading around it talks about Clan Mothers alone being the faithkeepers who are responsible for everything. I kind of associate this with the African-American matriarch of the "Big Momma". Big Momma does everything, has final say for all things, and Big momma's are always going to expect and deserve respect. I like general understanding for Clan Mothers being that they are life givers, but I don't think they operate on the motto " I brought you into this world, and I will take you out" haha. But then to break it down with systems does 'system' refer to all the work they do, or even how a clan mother IS vital to a community? Is it like a body 'system' where the clan mother is the heart or the pulse responsible for giving blood or life to everyone? For some reason I really thought I was going to see a list like law number 1, law number 2, etc. I just want to put out this question for everyone...If you had to make a set of 10 laws what would they be? Would the order matter from what is most important to least important, or does order not really matter because the rules/laws are all equally important and should be respected as that? Just a thought...
