Paper Summary:

This paper discusses two cultures, the Tiwi and the Trobriand Islander tribes. Both of these are Aboriginal Australian peoples, and both have been extensively studied by social anthropologists of great repute. In this paper, the central aspect of the attitudes of the two genders of these societies towards their offspring will be compared and contrasted. The Trobriand Islands are a group of coral outcrops about one hundred miles due north of the eastern tip of Papua New Guinea. The people who live there were little known, until Bronislaw Malinowski researched and wrote about them during the second decade of the 20th century. The people are Melanesian, and speak a unique Austronesian language.
