AB  - This is a good summary of G.N. Appell's dissertation (Appell 1965, document no. 1). He discusses the domestic family, including the developmental cycle and its jural and ritual status. He also discusses the Rungus kinship terminology, the long-house community, and village. According to Appell, the long-house has minimal jural and ritual status, although it may have served a greater role in the past as a necessary means of defense. The village controls the territory around it and a family's access to land is based on their residence in a village. According to Appell the village is not a kinship unit although kin are found there. Appell also discusses rights to trees and the unique 'tree-focussed descent collectivities.'
