AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This paper is based in part on information recorded by the author and in part on the published works of F. F. Williams. A portion of the paper deals with the norms and ideals of the society, and the extent to which they are actually conformed to by individuals. The author then discusses child-rearing and the way in which behavior is inculcated in the pre-pubertal period. Finally, the author discusses social sanctions and their relationship with institutionalized friendships.
