Navajo Indian marriages?

Amongst the Navajo 200-300 years ago, if a girl reneged on a promise of marriage to a man in her tribe, could she be ostracised from the tribe if she ran off with someone else from that same tribe, if gifts had been exchanged?

My guess would be no. Navajo are matrilineal and the woman and her family have the final say if things go forward or not. If she and her family agreed to a marriage and later, but before the wedding, she changed her mind, the wedding would be off and the gifts returned. Would she be ostrasized? I'm thinking no. Plus, if she did get a new man her new man would be living with her and her family once they got married. I think it is doubtful that she'd run off since she'd be abandoning her family, clan, and kinship responsibilities, things that are very important in Navajo culture.
