Alliances Among Highland Tribes as a “network" object

Description

Read (1954) gave an ethnographic portrait of an alliance structure among three tribal groups of the Eastern Central Highlands of New Guinea. Among these groups (the Gahuku-Gama) the enemy of an enemy can be either a friend or an enemy.

The orignal data are a signed graph with edge value relation being +1 for alliance (``rova") relations and, -1 for antagonistic (``hina") relations. The default (non)edge value of 0 means neither of these relations hold.

rova is the network of alliance (``rova") relations. The partner network is hina for antagonistic (``hina") relations.

Usage

 data(rova)
 data(hina)
