Zuni Kin And Clan is a book written by Alfred Louis Kroeber that explores the social organization and kinship system of the Zuni people, a Native American tribe located in the southwestern United States. The book describes the Zuni’s complex kinship system, which is based on a combination of matrilineal and patrilineal descent, and how it is used to structure their society. Kroeber also examines the Zuni’s clan system, which is made up of groups of people who share a common ancestor and who are responsible for certain religious and social functions within the tribe. The book provides a detailed analysis of the Zuni’s social organization and how it has evolved over time, as well as the impact of European colonization on their traditional way of life. Overall, Zuni Kin And Clan is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Native American culture, anthropology, and sociology.From Anthropological Papers Of The American Museum Of Natural History Volume 18.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
