Answer:

Gender roles of most Native American tribes were the opposite to English settlers and went against their idea of the position of man and woman.

Step-by-step explanation:

Most Native American tribes were matriarchal, meaning women held the power positions and authority. The clan membership/ role of a family was typically passed from the female side, and in some tribes, chiefs were female. This is the exact opposite of the patriarchal society English settlers' had, where men held absolute and all power, hence upsetting their social and political expectations of gender.
