Independently, Mrs. Wilson had referred to this cross-cousin marraige of Sam's
sister's daughter. She had spoken of it as an "awful" happening; and when she
gave the genealogy of this marriage she ommitted to identify certain branches
of it as Sam's bilateral family. She had described it thus: Tom Hunter's
wife's sister was married five or six years ago to her own Lynx gens-mate
(Sam's cross cousin. This man's brother was Charlie Kobine:s of the caribou
sib, mentioned above, i.e. the two brothers had had different fathers) at
cepeckacin, Lake of the Woods. Charlie married her, his gens-mate, because
"she was the only woman he could get" he was so unattractive. This woman had
been married before to a Buffalo Point man; and the son of this couple had
married his "own" mother's brother's daughter at Nea:gacin, Lake of the Woods.
"People think it's a crazy piece of
work."

given birth to Albert about a year after the death of her husband. At that
time she offered the indemnity wealth to the gens-mates of her husband. These
suspected that she had broken the mourning with a Finn, the putative father of
Albert.

The chief at Redgut Bay married his father's brother's wife. "They laughed
(in ridicule) at him ... they said hemarried is aunt ... she was an old, old
woman."

youngest son-in-law is a half-breed by a white man, and is very ashamed of it;
apparently he compensates by being the most conservative of the family in
observing the affinal tabus and other traditional social
practices.
