Observational procedures for identifying kindreds: social isolates among the Rungus or Borneo

Southwestern journal of anthropology23 (2)Published In 1967 • Pages: 192-207

By: Appell, George N..

AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
In this article G. N. Appell makes the case that the Rungus form a cognatic society without kindreds. They do not recognize any specific subset of cognates, which could be construed as kindred. Rather the field of cognates comprises a collectivity from which the corporate social groups of family, village and long-house are formed.
