Abstract: Brief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This is a short article concerning the origin and function
of ritual clan relationships among the Bemba and the closely allied Bisa. Each clan is not
systematically paired, but often has a number of different partners linked by the
apparently arbitrary factor of the clan name. The relationship implies ritual
interdependence; a partnership of enemies, expressed in ritual; traditional jokes and
freedom in daily intercourse; and preferential marriage claims (no longer
practiced).
