no corporate property, but inheritance within clan |
| text: |
Property rights in land could normally be inherited only by persons of the same clan. Though there was -- in contradistinction to morung land -- no land jointly owned and cultivated by the members of a clan, the prohibition on alienating land to members of different clans, such as to the sons of daughters, suggests that the Konyak clans had some of the features of a property-owning group. |
