About This Book

A systematic ethnographic account of social organization across Siouan-speaking groups, detailing kinship units (clans, gentes, and subgroups), rules of descent and marriage, and how kinship structures regulate political, judicial, and economic functions. It describes major and minor corporate forms, the roles of chiefs, warriors, and ordinary men, patterns of camping and tribal division, and processes of consolidation, segregation, adoption, and migration. Comparative sketches of particular tribes illustrate variations in phratries, gentes, marriage taboos, and ceremonial and military arrangements, with phonetic notes and diagrams supporting linguistic and organizational descriptions.
