"Wyandot Government: A Short Study of Tribal Society" by John Wesley Powell is a detailed anthropological account written in the late 19th century. This publication provides an in-depth examination of the social and political structures of the Wyandot tribe, focusing on their unique system of kinship and governance. The book elucidates how the Wyandots organized their society into distinct groups, such as families, gentes, phratries, and tribes, and situates these within the broader context of Native American tribal governance. The content of the book explores the intricacies of Wyandot social organization, outlining how their government is composed of councils and chiefs, including the roles of men and women. Powell elaborates on the functions of civil government, the significance of kinship ties, marriage regulations, and the rights and responsibilities of individuals within the society. He emphasizes the importance of communal practices in cultivation and the duty of each gens to protect its members. The text also discusses types of crimes recognized by the Wyandots and the procedures for adjudication, as well as their military governance, providing a comprehensive view of how this tribal society functioned cohesively while preserving cultural values and rights.
