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.'
