A winter house was occupied by families who formed a household. They were usually related though the males, and they co-operated in social, ceremonial and economic activities.
The Stó:lō traditionally reckoned kinship through both the mother and father. Children of inter-village marriages provided kin links between villages. They inherited potential membership in either parent's kin group. This way, one kin group had access to resources of the other. This also allowed for shifts in residence: if one family had conflicts with another they could move in with other kin (even taking their house-planks with them). Because of this shared kinship, villages were able to maintain peaceful relations and to help each other against common enemies. A powerful man could have several wives, and he would sometimes take wives from several villages so that he could increase these advantages.
