%X This is a study of Mongolian kinship structure based on interviews with informants living in the United States. Vreeland examines the social, political, economic and religious organization in the home communities of informant's from three Mongolian tribes: the Khalkha in western Mongolia, Chahar in Inner Mongolia, China, and the Dagor along the Nen Jiang (river), which divides Heilongjiang and Inner Mongolia, China. Vreeland accounts for their simlarities and differences; similarities in terms of a common ancestral stock and differences in terms of varying influences from the Chinese-Manchu state and Lamaism. Vreeland argues for a common origin of kinship structure and through careful analysis of kinshhip terminology attempts to reconstruct a prototype kinship system and account for subsequent transformations.
