Abstract
This source is a brief sketch of the social organization of the Cow Creek Seminole band as it existed at the time of the author's field study in 1939. The main topics discussed in this work are the organization of the camp, the clan, kinship relations and terminology, and the levirate and sororate. The author frequently notes the traditional pattern of social organization and changes that have taken place with time and as a result of acculturation.
