Document Summary
Harsh environment makes sustainability hard and conflicts arrive when populations of and between clans increase. It is almost inevitable that tensions will arise between close kin, and it is often that a feud will occur. This likely leads to a section of the clan splitting off and going to live in an area with more resources. This area could be where other tribes reside, so dominant clans must be clear in geographic areas. Despite clans splitting off and moving near other tribes though, they must maintain a knowledge of their lineage. Measure time according to events of significance to group. As structural time: ritual time: measures progress through a social system (birth, manhood (age sets), marriage, death). There are 6-7 age sets usually in a community: historical time: social and historical memory for nuer works about the same. Take oldest living member of family and as far back as their memory goes is the history.
