The Miami family allows children to have a large close knit group of relatives. Like your family, Miami kids had a mom and dad. The mom took care of the children and the father supplied food. Like you, the Miami also call a mother's brother an uncle. However all of the uncle's sons were also called uncle. The daughters of the uncles were called mothers and their children were one's sisters and brothers.
