Abstract: "In the late 1950s, Merlin G. Myers conducted fieldwork, collecting data on household structure and kinship relations from 150 families and interpreted his findings within the context of structural-functional anthropology, providing a rare example of British anthropological theory from this time applied to a North American Native community. His work also features valuable Cayuga linguistic contributions."--Jacket.
