Abstract: Brief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This is a good summary of G.N. Appell's dissertation
(Appell 1965, document no. 1). He discusses the domestic family, including the
developmental cycle and its jural and ritual status. He also discusses the Rungus kinship
terminology, the long-house community, and village. According to Appell, the long-house has
minimal jural and ritual status, although it may have served a greater role in the past as
a necessary means of defense. The village controls the territory around it and a family's
access to land is based on their residence in a village. According to Appell the village is
not a kinship unit although kin are found there. Appell also discusses rights to trees and
the unique 'tree-focussed descent collectivities.'
