<P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 14px"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Palauan society, much
like the island's language, has always been unique to the islands. Palauan
society follows a very strict matrilineal system. Matrilineal practices
are seen in nearly every aspect of Palauan traditions, especially in
funeral, marriage, inheritance and the passing of traditional
titles.</SPAN></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 14px"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: arial, helvetica, sans-serif">The cuisine includes
local foods such as cassava, taro, yam, potato, fish and pork. Western
cuisine is favored among young Palauans and the locals are joined by
foreign tourists. Restaurants on the main island of Koror consist mainly
of Korean food, as well as Chinese, burgers, pizza and pasta. Indigenous
cuisine consists mainly of root vegetables, fish, pigs and chicken. The
rest of Micronesia is similar with much less tourism, leading to fewer
restaurants. Tourists eat mainly at their hotels on such islands. Some
local foods include an alcoholic drink made from coconut on the tree; the
drink made from the roots of the kava; and the chewing of betel nuts. The
Filipino presence in the islands supports the presence of that
cuisine.</SPAN></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 14px"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: arial, helvetica, sans-serif">The Palauan people
respect their traditions. The traditional government system still
influences the nation's affairs, leading the federal government to
repeatedly attempt to limit its power. Many of these attempts took the
form of amendments to the constitution that were supported by the
corporate sector to protect what they deemed should be free economic
zones. One such example occurred in early 2010, where the Idid clan, the
ruling clan of the Southern Federation, under the leadership of Bilung,
the Southern Federation's queen, raised a civil suit against the Koror
State Public Lands Authority (KSPLA). The Idid clan laid claim over
Malakal Island, a major economic zone and Palau's most important port,
citing documents from the German Era. The verdict held that the Island
belonged to the KSPLA.</SPAN></SPAN></P>
