	Crow Nation Summary
		The Crow language is a member of the Missouri Valley Siouan languages.
		The Crow were a matrilineal (decent through the maternal line), matrilocal (husband moves in with wife's family), and matriarchal tribe (females obtaining high status, even chief).
		The Crow Nation elects biannually a Chairman of the Crow Tribal Council.

	Paper on Cherokee Kinship Systems
		The main characteristic of a Crow type system "is found in the descent pattern from the father's sister, whereby the father's sister's female descendants through females are classed with the father's sister, and her male descendants through females are classed with the father" (Spoehr 164).
		Kinship diagrams use the following symbols to make this relationship easier to follow: a triangle denotes a male; a circle denotes a female; a horizontal line shows brother sister relationships; a vertical line shows parent-child relationships; and an equal sign shows a marriage relationship.
		The corresponding kinship diagram is presented in Figure 2 with an explanation presented in Table 1.

	Kinship and descent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Kinship and descent is one of the major concepts of cultural anthropology.
		Kinship and descent have a number of legal ramifications, which vary widely between legal and social structures.
		More importantly, kinship and descent enters the legal system by virtue of intestacy, the laws that at common law determine who inherits the estates of the dead in the absence of a will.

		Little Crow was intimately involved in signing several treaties with the government, worked hard to placate the government after the Inkpaduta affair of 1857, and tried to prevent war in 1862.
		Little Crow, Spokesman For the Sioux is a reissuing of a well-researched biography of the famous Mdewakanton chief from Kaposia (Minnesota), presented complete with period drawings, illustrations, and maps as well as an exhaustive genealogy of Little Crow (Appendix 2) which helps to explain his complicated series of alliances and growth to power.
		Little Crow, or Ta-o-ya-te-du-ta is presented as a reluctant war leader and a persistent accommodater, politician and tribal spokesman, a position earned partly by blood and good alliances and partly by sacrifice and risk.

	The Nature of Kinship: Kin Naming Systems (Part 2)
		In order to comprehend the Omaha, Crow, and Iroquois naming systems, it is important to first understand a common distinction made between types of cousins in societies following unilineal descent.
		For the majority of people in contemporary Europe and the Americas whose cultures use the bilateral descent principle, these cousin differences seem to be irrelevant and unnecessary.
		Differences between the Omaha and Crow systems can be seen in the terms of reference for cross cousins and whether or not uncles and aunts are lumped with them.

		Kinship terms reflect many things, such as the type of family they live in, their rule of residence, their rule of descent and other aspects of their social organization.
		The two functions of kinship systems are 1) to provide continuity between generations and 2) define the group of people who can depend on each other for mutual help.
		In traditional societies, kinship is the basis of their social organization, whereas in industrial societies, we organize ourselves according to class, common interests, type of employment or career.

	Crows alter their thieving behavior when dealing with kin or other birds
		Researchers at the University of Washington have found a species of crow that distinctly alters its behavior when attempting to steal food from another crow, depending on whether or not the other bird is a relative.
		The Northwestern crow (Corvus caurinus) uses a passive strategy when it attempts to take food from kin but becomes aggressive when it tries to steal a morsel from a non-related crow.
		To understand crow behavior, the UW researchers captured and banded 55 birds that foraged in a suburban Snohomish County park along Puget Sound north of Seattle.

	Moondance: Nonfiction--The Myth of Kin
		Kinship doesn't exist until it is created, defined and maintained by a population of genetically linked individuals.
		Kinship, while the stuff of volatile relationships, Oedipal and otherwise, is a force of peace.
		Many, so-called "primitive" communities recognize extensive kinship ties and the resultant recognition of obligation is the basis for community life--whether the matrilineal system of the Trobriand islands or the collateral system of Polynesia.

		For example, most kinship terminologies distinguish between '''sexes''' (this is the difference between a brother and a sister) and between '''generation''' (this is the difference between a child and a parent).
		'''Eskimo kinship*''': has both classificatory and descriptive terms; in addition to sex and generation, also distinguishes between lineal relatives (who are related directly by a line of descent) and collateral relatives (who are related by blood, but not directly in the line of descent).
		This kinship terminology is common in societies based on conjugal (or nuclear) families, where nuclear families must be relatively mobile.

		In this case, Buchler uses kinship terms as the data variables, which are scored negatively or positively depending on whether a term was used in the typical Crow-type sense or if it was used differently.
		These irregularities in kinship assignments occur as a result of the distinction between the classifying function and the role designating function of the kinship term.
		A basic kinship diagram is also used to elucidate the reoccurring argument for “alternative possibilities of corporate affiliation for an ambilineal descent group”(37).

		Each sherd was assigned to one of the time periods, based on the spatial context from which it was recovered, and then analyzed in terms of the number and type of the over 152 attributes that were identified.
		Deetz infers from this that the Arikara villages were once organized by lineages (as indicated by early Crow style kinship terminology) and that the appearance of a generation descent system indicated a change away from a lineage based family group.
		Concurrently, the size of the Arikara dwellings decreased from a pre-historic range of thirty-six to fifty feet in diameter to one of twenty five to almost forty feet during the proto-historic period.

		Bilateral or cognatic kinship systems may in simplest terms be described as those in which descent from ancestors and affiliation to a set of kinsmen may be traced through both females and males.
		Old English kinship terms are less distinctive for paternal kinsmen because, deep in the Germanic past, presumably in the formative stages of the society, a Crow kinship system prevails.
		In this kind of kinship system, where neither patriliny nor cognation nor primogeniture prevail, the bond between maternal uncle and uterine nephew eclipses the bond between father and son.
