Excerpt from The Euahlayi Tribe: A Study of Aboriginal Life in Australia In each phratry are smaller sets of persons, each set distinguished by the name of some animal or other natural object, their totem.' The same totem is never found in both phratries. Thus a person marrying out of his or her phratry, as all must do, necessarily marries out of his or her totem. The same arrangements exist among tribes which derive phratry and totem names through the father. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
