marriage alliance of chiefly houses |
| text: |
The marriage alliance of two chiefly houses did not altogether exclude future raids and head-taking between the two village communities. In a war between the villages A and B, warriors of A might even have taken the heads of A women married in B. Thus it was pointed out to me that in a recent feud between Ninu and Niaunu, the son of a Ninu woman married in Niaunu was killed by Ninu men, i.e. his mother's previous co-villagers. |
