Synopsis
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 Author
Andrew Lang (March, 31, 1844 July 20, 1912) was a Scottish writer and literary critic who is best known as a collector of folk and fairy tales. Lang s academic interests extended beyond the literary and he was a noted contributor to the fields of anthropology, folklore, psychical research, history, and classic scholarship, as well as the inspiration for the University of St. Andrew s Andrew Lang Lectures. A prolific author, Lang published more than 100 works during his career, including twelve fairy books, in which he compiled folk and fairy tales from around the world. Lang s Lilac Fairy and Red Fairy books are credited with influencing J. R. R. Tolkien, who commented on the importance of fairy stories in the modern world in his 1939 Andrew Lang Lecture On Fairy-Stories.

The Euahlayi Tribe: A Study of Aboriginal Life in Australia (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an anthropological study of the Euahlayi, an Aboriginal tribe located in present-day New South Wales. The author's approach is informed by her firsthand observations and deep engagement with the Euahlayi community over several decades. This book is significant as it provides a detailed account of the Euahlayi's beliefs, customs, and oral traditions. The author engages with broader debates in anthropology, particularly around the question of religious beliefs among Indigenous Australian communities. She challenges prevailing theories and provides evidence for the Euahlayi's concept of an All Father figure, Byamee, and their unique totemic practices. Through rich descriptions of rituals, ceremonies, and storytelling, this book offers an in-depth understanding of the Euahlayi's spiritual world and their relationship with their environment. The insights gained from this work contribute to a broader understanding of the diversity and richness of Aboriginal cultures and highlight the continuing significance of traditional beliefs and practices in contemporary Indigenous communities.
