MEXICAN KINSHIP TERMS

BY

PAUL RADIN

INTRODUCTION

The following kinship systems were all extracted from olddictionaries and confesionarios. In spite of the fact that the authorsof these works were priests who had no interest whatsoever in thestrange customs of the people they were converting, great care wasgenerally taken in obtaining as complete a list of kinship terms aspossible in order to prevent the natives from marrying within theforbidden degrees of marriage as laid down by the Catholic church.These lists are, on the whole, fairly complete and adequate, i.e., theygive us enough data to determine the type of kinship systems usedby the Indians described.

It is naturally difficult to study kinship systems apart from socialorganization, and we know wretchedly little about the social organ-ization of the Indians of either ancient or modern Mlexico. Of thetribes discussed in this paper we know fairly definitely that the Opata,Tepehuano, Tarahumare, Cora, and Otomi did not have a clan organ-ization and we also know that their social organization was simple.Flor the other tribes our specific knowledge about social organizationis not always much better, but we do know a good deal about theirculture in general. For the Totonaca we have the data given by theolder Spanish sources, particularly Sahagun and Torquemada.' Thereseems to be no adequate reason, on the basis of the facts they give, toassume that the Totonac either had a clan organization or a markeddevelopment of social classes. That their culture was quite complex,however, admits of no doubt. It seems to have been closely relatedto that of the IHuaxtec. Among the Huaxtec there appears to havebeen a fairly well developed "caste" system, but there are no indi-cations of clans. It is only when we come to the Mlixtec and Zapotec

1 This has been excellently summarized by W. Kriekeberg, Die Totonaken,Baessler Archiv, vols. 7 and 9.

2 Un-iversity of Califorsnia Publications in Am. Arch. and Ethn. [Vol. 31

that we find a highly definite caste system2 and probably a clan organ-ization. For the Zapotec there seems to be little doubt that a clanorganization once existed.3 The evidence for the Mixtec is not sogood, although it seems reasonable to assume that owing to the extremesimilarity of the two cultures in social organization., what holds forthe Zapotec would also hold for the Mixtec. The Mixe and Zoquedo not seem to have had any distinction of classes. Whether they hada clan organization it is hard to say, but the presumption has alwaysbeen that they did.

Perhaps the most remarkable feature of the kinship systems ofMexico is that, with exception of the Maya and Ta.rascan,4 we findno example of the classificatory type and even the two mentioned areonly classificatory in part. In the main the Mexican systems c.an begrouped into three types, the Opata, Tepehuano, Tarahumare, Cora,and Huaxtec constituting the first, the Totonae, Otomi, Mixtec, Zapo-tec, Mixe, and Zoque, the second, and the Tarascan and Maya, thethird.5 The first.group approximates most closely to Spier's type V(Yuman) and the second to his type IV (Acoma).

2 This is even definitely expressed in the language where a special set ofpersonal pronouns exist onily used when addressing one's superiors.

3 The evidence is to be found partly in Burgoa, but particulaxly in Santamariay Canseco, Papeles de Nueva Espafia, Relacion de Mitla, etc. (1580).

4 Paul Radin, Maya, Nahuatl and Tarascan Kinship Terms, AA, n.s., v. 27,no. 1.

5 The Aztec belongs to neither group. In the scheme outlined by Spier itwould have to be placed in his type III (Salish).
