    Keywords: Nyakyusa (African people) ; Ngonde (African people) ; Primitive societies ; Kinship--Tanzania ; Nyakyusa (African people)--Social life and customs ; Land tenure--Tanzania ; Ngonde (African people)--Politics and government ; Ngonde (Malawi)--Politics and government ; Ngonde (African people)--Social life and customs ; Acculturation ; Nyakyusa ; Ngonde ; Nyakyusa ; Ngonde
    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: Guana Indians ; Terena Indians ; Caduveo Indians ; Acculturation ; Terena ; Terena
    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: Mescalero Indians ; Mescalero Indians--Biography ; Apache Indians--Biography ; Apache Indians--Claims ; Mescalero astronomy ; Mescalero Indians--Religion ; Mescalero philosophy ; Mescalero ; Mescalero
    Abstract: The Mescalero Apache collection consists of all English language documents covering a time span from approximately 1540 to the late 1980s. Documents which provide a general summary of Mescalero culture history and ethnography are Opler, and the last section of Farrer's work on this group. The three studies by Basehart in this collection, also provide information on social and political organization, leadership, and subsistence patterns. Dealing with the more metaphysical concepts of Mescalero society are the works by Farrer. Farrer discusses Mescalero concepts of space, time, and sound and the way they communicate meaning and order within the culture. The second study by Farrer, describes native concepts of cosmology, ethnoastronomy, and the relationship between celestial phenomena and the environment. Various other ethnographic topics of interest in this document are: shamanism and supernatural power in Chris and Opler; mythology associated with the birth of the culture hero, Child-of-the Water; Mescalero beliefs and practices related to death, and peyote ceremonialism in Opler. Of major interest in this collection of documents is the study of the girls' puberty ceremony in Nicholas, which gives a general account of this ceremony, and is further supplemented in greater detail in Farrer
