AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
In this article, Aberle attempts to make more comprehensible the 'amorphous character of Navajo kinship organization' (p. 1). In particular he describes the 'coresidential kin group' or CKG. The CKG is made up of a portion of a matrilineage and its function is to defend its territory and to manage land use.
