Abstract
This document offers rich data on a number of aspects of Western Apache life as it describes the various levels of group affiliation. Abundant material is provided on the clans, on marriage patterns, and on kin relationships and terminology. In addition there is considerable discussion of styles of humor, personal names, division of labor by age and sex, formal and informal means of social control, the role of the chief, and patterns of change.
