This paper summarizes the role and function of grandmothers in Tewa society, based on oral history materials, published archives, formal interviews and informal discussions with members of the tribe, and participant observations of more than three hundred members of a Tewa extended family with whom the author worked for many years. The document also includes the author's observations concerning the Tewa use of kinship terms and other kin-based behaviors (p. 67).
