Abstract: | Describes the ideas of the pastoral Nilotic-speaking Atuot of the Southern Sudan, which can be called totemistic (fully recognizing that what Atuot conceive of as animal 'divinities' or 'spirits' are rather wide of the mark of the classical definitions). In order to compare the Atuot material with Nuer and Dinka totemism, the article describes Nuer and Dinka totems. |
