    Keywords: Acculturation ; Kinship--Tanzania ; Land tenure--Tanzania ; Ngonde (African people) ; Ngonde (African people)--Politics and government ; Ngonde (African people)--Social life and customs ; Ngonde (Malawi)--Politics and government ; Nyakyusa (African people) ; Nyakyusa (African people)--Social life and customs ; Primitive societies
    Abstract: The Nyakyusa and Ngonde collection covers cultural, economic and historical information, circa 1875 to 1983. Most of the documents in the collection were written by the husband-wife team of Godfrey and Monica Wilson based on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in 1934-1938. The basic introduction to Nyakyusa society and culture is Godfrey Wilson's "An Introduction to Nyakyusa society". The information in this document is further enriched by the works of Monica Wilson which, together, provide a comprehensive first-hand account of Nyakyusa culture and society as observed in mid-1930s. Main themes covered in these works include social and economic structure of a Nyakyusa age-village, communal rituals related to burials, marriage, birth, misfortunes, etc, relationship of religion to Nyakyusa social structure, changes in generational and gender relations, and traditional land tenure systems. The collection also includes two other documents that focus on the Ngonde. These documents cover the traditional political structure of Ngonde society and aspects of socioeconomic change since 18th century. Finally, the collection also includes one essay which seeks to re-evaluate some of the key arguments in the earlier work by the Wilsons. The focus is on dynamics of kinship and chieftainship in age-villages, a uniquely Nyakyusa residence pattern in which a cohort of boys establish their own village settlement in previously uninhabited land

    Keywords: Acculturation ; Caduveo Indians ; Guana Indians ; Terena Indians
    Abstract: The Terena collection consists of several documents from English, German, and Portuguese Oberg is a study of culture change in Terena society resulting from contact and interaction with the Caduveo, the Mbayá, and Brazilian culture in general. The theme of culture change is continued in Oliveira, which attempts to record and interpret the processes of social interaction between Terena and Brazilian society with the goal of determining the operative socio-cultural mechanism affecting the more specific process of assimilation. Baldus is a study of the succession to chieftainship within a Terena group living near the city of Miranda in the southern part of the Brazilian Mato Grosso. This study also contains some incidental information on such aspects of Terena ethnography as names and naming, eschatology, conception and pregnancy, marriage regulations and arrangements, and kinship terminology and relationships. The second work included by Oliveira is a structural analysis of the Terena marriage and social stratification system

    Keywords: Acculturation ; Cree Indians ; Cree Indians--Social life and customs
    Abstract: This collection of eight documents is about the Western Woods Cree who lived aboriginally in the boreal forests from Hudson and James Bays westward to the Peace River in Canada. In the early twenty-first century they are found primarily in the region between Lake Superior and Hudson Bay. Mason provides an overview of the Western Woods Cree ethnography; Smith (1981) presents a brief summary of some of the major features of their ethnography dating from the seventeenth to the late twentieth centuries, with an emphasis on the western Swampy and Rocky Cree populations. Two of the studies in this collection by Smith (1976, 1987) discuss and analyze the ethnological 'myth' dealing with the movement of the Western Woods Cree to the southwest areas at the time of the initial Euro-American contact. According to this belief French and English guns gave the Cree technological superiority over their neighbors to the west and southwest and permitted them to move easily into the conquered lands. Evidence for pottery making at the time of early Euro-American contacts is discussed by Meyer. Fisher describes the socio-cultural evolution of the hunting band discussed in terms of social, ecological, and historical variables within the society. Hallowell presents a study of cross-cousin marriage in relationship to the kinship system

    Keywords: Icelanders
    Abstract: This collection of 23 documents is about the Early Icelanders and covers the time span from the first Norse settlement in Iceland around 874 A.D. to Iceland's incorporation into the kingdom of Norway in approximately 1262 A.D. The major focus is on the Commonwealth Period from 930 to 1262 A.D. Much of the cultural data gathered for this period comes from the analysis and interpretation of a number of Icelandic sagas written primarily in the thirteenth century. The most comprehensive study of the social, economic, and political changes taking place in Medieval Iceland over a four hundred year period is The dynamics of medieval Iceland by Durrenberger. This study begins with the first Norse settlement in Iceland around 874 A.D. and ends with the incorporation of Iceland into the kingdom of Norway in 1264 A.D. Fourteen of these documents were originally published in: From sagas to society, edited by Ǵisli Ṕalsson
