Kinship systems in Foraging and Horticultural based

Identify and describe the kinship system of one of the cultures
listed below. These cultures are found in Chapters 3 and 4 of your
text.
San
Australian Aborigines
Btsisi
Inuit of the Artic
Iroquois
Yanomamo
Briefly describe the culture and
identify three specific
examples of how the kinship system of the chosen culture impacts
the way this culture behaves (i.e. thinks, acts, lives).
Compare this to your own society. Does kinship impact these
same behaviors in your own life? Why or why not?
