Yanomamo CaseThe chart I’ve created after interviewing a family member to trace relatedness in our family is different from the kinship chart in Yanomamo, N. Chagnon, page 142. For my interview I used my sister as the interviewee to get her perspective of the kinship chart. She is the middle child so in the chart I am first then Ego (my sister) is followed by my youngest sister. Above our generation is our parents who are now divorced. Ego’s father is an only child and her patrilineal grandparents are still married together. Ego’s matrilineal grandparents had two daughter ( Ego’s mother and aunt) and a son who passed away weeks after birth. Ego’s aunt had two kids with her husband, those kids are ego’s cross cousins. Ego’s matrilineal grandparents divorced and her grandfather remarried. He got another divorce when he retired to the Dominican Republic and remarried a younger woman over there, with whom he had a daughter eight years ago. That daughter is Ego’s cross aunt.
In the Yanomamo kin chart on page 142 the general principles or encouragements are to marry a cousin or someone in your village. Ego’s perspective of our Kin and Yanomamo’s are very different because the men do not go for women they are in any way related to. Women did it for protection and relatedness.Patrilineal descent ideal kin chart consists of creating bilateral cross cousin marriages. the Yanomamo society can be divided into two intermarriages on any sides. Half of kin gives women to one side and to balance it the other half receives the women they expect to marry. Unlike Ego’s kin the men are marrying someone related like their “Father’s sister’s daughter” also known as your cousin.
Racial and ethnic makeup of Kin and Yanomamo
Racial and ethnic makeup of Native Native people is very different depending on the cultural background of these people which is a key issue in the kin chart. However, on the Kin and Yanomamo homo-cultural and ethnic analysis of Native peoples, most of these differences are due to non-Native characteristics. One example is because of the ethnocentric beliefs of the tribe of Yanomamo. This makes the cultural and religious background of Native people, from culture and religious origins, much more difficult to estimate. Here are some of the differences among Native and non-Indonesian people in the Kin and Yanomamo social history:
The Kin and the Yanomamo people from their childhood and culture before they became homo-cultural. It is the case that they have never lived in other cultures at all. In fact, the whole tribe of Yanomamo in their history was a very small community. It was a little scattered but with an important cultural and religious background, no one was ever very religious in the kin charts, no one knew much about other peoples or societies and they were very small. Also, they were not a good model of culture like other people in the tribe of Iroas, the members were nomadic and had little sense of community and other things like that. The kin chart of these people gives the impression of one large tribe, with great similarities. This suggests that these people were very homo-cultural in origin, but other people were different types of group. This group was called “Shiny Peoples”, for how similar they were.
The Yanomamo people are more monochromatic and more homo-cultural in origin and culture. They have great sense of their culture, as can be seen among the cultural and religious background of certain people of the tribe of Yanomamo. They are not a big tribal group because the Yanomamo people are more homo-cultural. Also, the Yanomamo people have a lot of similarities to non-Indosian people also. This suggests that this group is very homo-cultural in origin, not only because the Yanomamo people are more monochromatic since they are more ethnocentric, but also because they have more ancestors than other people. In essence, they are more like the people of Asia – the people of the Northern Hemisphere who first developed there after the early Sumerians.
When most Yanomamo tribes started to establish relations and tribes settled in different parts of the continent. In Japan, the people of Nippon and KĹŤgĹŤ had
