Note 394 — Chapter XIV · - CHANGE OF DESCENT FROM THE FEMALE TO THE MALE LINE.
Reading edition
If a Seneca-Iroquois man marries a foreign woman their children are aliens; but if a Seneca-Iroquois woman marries an alien, or an Onondaga, their children are Iroquois of the Seneca tribe; and of the gens and phratry of their mother. The woman confers her nationality and her gens upon her children, whoever may be their father.
