fore society is traditionally organized into kinship groups, although these groups are not always strictly familial. a kinship group is made up of a male lineage, but may include other members, such as refugees or distant relatives, that migrated from other fore kinship groups and became fully integrated into the group, taking on the same privileges and responsibilities as the biologically related members. men from the same patriarchal lineage are not accorded any benefits over other non-related men in the group; in fact, it is considered beneficial and a strength to the village to bring in men from other kinship groups by offering them land and integrate them.
