d) Atlantic Tribes.i ) Delawares, one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> oldest <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Algonguin Tribes; when discovered,<strong>the</strong>ir home country region around and North <strong>of</strong> Delaware Bayhaben 3 gentes: 1) Wolf; 2) Turtle. 3) Turkey; aber jede dieser gen(te)s aphratry, da Wolf ge<strong>the</strong>ilt in 12 subgentesyeach having some o f <strong>the</strong> attributes<strong>of</strong> a gens; Turtle in 10 subgentes (2 fernere extinct), Turkey in 12 subgentes.The names der subgentes are personal, u. meist, wenn nicht alle, female; sindbetrachtet by <strong>the</strong> Delawares selbst (jezt at <strong>the</strong> Delaware Reservation inKansas') betrachtet als <strong>the</strong>ir several eponymous ancestors. Dies zeigt zweierlei:1) wie d. ursprünglichen Thiernamen der gentes Platzmachen können Personennamen.[D. Namen der ursprünglichen Gentes bleiben wie Wolf Turtle,Turkey; aber d. Segmentation der gens in subgentes nach d. specific (personal)Namen der Stammmütter der Theile (Unterab<strong>the</strong>ilgen der Gensfamilien); so werden d. ursprünglichen Thiernamen der gentes Namen vonPhratries u. die der subgentes von Personen (Müttern) ohne dass dieserChange (wie bei male descent d. Antiken) anything mit hero worship (alsUrahnen) zu thun hätte.] Zweitens: zeigt sich hier natural growth vonPhratry dch segmentation einer gens in several subgentes.Descent bei d. Delawares in female line u. alles andre archaisch. (So d. 3original gentes could not intermarry innerhalb selber gens); in recent years <strong>the</strong>prohibition limited to <strong>the</strong> subgentes; so in Wolf gens157 z.B. die <strong>of</strong> same namecannot intermarry, wohl aber die <strong>of</strong> different names. Auch d. practice58 <strong>of</strong> naming children into <strong>the</strong> gens | <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir fa<strong>the</strong>r aufgekommen bei d. Delawares,has introduced <strong>the</strong> same confusion <strong>of</strong> descents wie unter Shawnees u.Miamis. [Dies scheint der natürliche Übergang von female to male line;der confusion konnte nur dch den Change Ende gemacht werden.]American civilisation u. intercourse gave shock to <strong>the</strong> institutions der Indians, ihrethnic life so gradually breaking down.Weil descent in female line, bei d. Delawares wie Iroquois, <strong>of</strong>fice <strong>of</strong> Sachemv. Bruder to Bruder od. von (mütterlichen) Onkel to Nephew (Schwesterssohn)2) Munsees: <strong>of</strong>fshoot der Delawares, haben dieselben gentes: Wolf, Turtle,Turkey; female descent etc3) Mohegans: form part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> New England Indians, south <strong>of</strong> river Kennebeck,die all closely related in language, could understand each o<strong>the</strong>rs’ dialects.Mohegans haben, wie Delawares u. Munsees - <strong>the</strong> Wolf Turtle u. Turkey,each <strong>of</strong> which composed <strong>of</strong> a number <strong>of</strong> gentes, also break up v. original gensinto several which remain united in a phratry. D . phratries bet d. Moheganscover <strong>the</strong> gentes o f each u. d. phratries must be stated, to explain <strong>the</strong>classification <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> gentes.
