	kinship - Encyclopedia.com
		kinship relationship by blood (consanguinity) or marriage (affinity) between persons; also, in anthropology and sociology, a system of rules, based on such relationships, governing descent, inheritance, marriage, extramarital sexual relations, and sometimes residence.
		In many societies the concept of kinship extends beyond family ties, which vary in breadth and inclusiveness, to less precisely defined groupings such as the clan, where consanguinity is often hypothetical if not actually mythological.

	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.

	Indian Kinship
		The kinship system in vogue among the Klamath Indians of California and Oregon is apparently typical of those tribes in which, like the Kiowa, both the clan and the gentile systems of kinship are wanting.
		Among the Omaha, within the phratry in which gentes exist, those who occupy the one side of the fire are not regarded as full kindred by those occupying the other side of the fire, and they are prohibited from intermarrying.
		Besides the natural import of terms of kinship, they were employed metaphorically in a great number of ways, as to indicate respect, to avoid the use of a man's personal name, to indicate tho clan or phratry to which a person belonged, or to indicate the possession of special privileges.

	Systematic Kinship Terminologies (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		Lewis Henry Morgan, a 19th century pioneer in kinship studies, surmised that the Hawaiian system resulted from a situation of unrestricted sexual access or "primitive promiscuity" in which children called all members of their parental generation father and mother because paternity was impossible to acertain.
		Hawaiian kinship semantics are now thought to be related to the presence and influence of ambilineal descent systems.
		As such Omaha terminologies are associated with societies that have a strong patrilineal emphasis in their social organization.

	Indian Tribal Structure - Handbook of American Indians, 1906
		In primitive thought, kinship, expressed in terms of agnatic and enatic kinship, of consanguinity and affinity, was the one basis recognized in the structure of the social organization.
		The Omaha tribe is constituted of ten gentes organized into two divisions of five gentes each, and this dualism in the organization of the tribal gentes into two constituent exogamous bodies is apparently prevalent in all the tribes cognate with the Omaha, with perhaps the exception of the Ponca.
		So it is clear that it is the tie of maternal kinship the bond of affinity-that actually binds together the gentes and that impresses every individual with the cohesive sentiment that he is a member of an interrelated kinship body of persons.

		However, the five tribes were already distinct at contact, and there are no traditions dating to a period of unity of the whole, except a very generic account that includes the Chiwere and Winnebago speakers, too, and seems to me to be a recent concoction, dating to the treaty period.
		Omaha speakers do indicate that they can distinguish the two groups by speech, and I believe them, but the cues they use are not clear to me. They may consist largely of subphonemic differences in pronunciation too subtle for my inexperienced ear and similarly subtle differences in patterns of word use.

	Feinberg and Ottenheimer/The Cultural Analysis of Kinship. Chapter 6
		Kinship is the philosophy many cultures hold about what completes a person socially, psychologically, and morally, and how that completeness comes about through a responsible sense of attachment and obligation to others.
		With respect to kinship I find that the philosophy of kinship as it exists in most prestate societies compares not so directly with what Americans take to be kinship in their own lives, but rather with something Americans do not have at all, namely, a coherent sociological imagination.
		Since kinship itself is a theory and not an entity, there is all the more reason for there to be a high degree of selectivity with respect to the aptness of the natural symbols chosen as its representation.

		However, some authors have suggested that kinship rules and unilineal descent are merely theoretical constructs of anthropologists or cultural ideals usually not followed in practice.

		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 Eskimo system places no distinction between patrilineal and matrilineal relatives, instead focusing on differences in kinship distance (the closer the relative is, the more distinguished).
		The Eskimo system is comparatively rare among the world's kinship systems and is at present used in most advanced Western societies (such as those of modern-day Europe or North America).
