Thinking about laying the basis for the extent to which the relationship between matrilineal phenomena and women is an interesting thing to analyze. Especially related to the position of the Ocu community, especially women in the historical vortex towards matrilineal. This study uses a qualitative method with an ethnographic approach to the Ocu community in Kampar Riau Regency. The results of this study have strategic value because they are a means of criticizing and even repositioning various thoughts related to the main phenomenon, namely women occupy a very important position in the historical process towards matrilineal. The deterioration of life due to serious economic difficulties affects all aspects of people's lives. Such a severe situation encourages the behaviour of men to make efforts to migrate to various regions for a very long time. The lack of men as the main support for every family even requires Ocu women to take over all the responsibilities of life.
