What reading level is Ethnology of the Yuchi Indians book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Sometimes the man goes to live with his wife's parents until he is able to start for himself. The couple separates at will, but the children go with the mother. Should this occur, the man must never speak to her again under any circumstances, as it would lessen her chance with other men.
There is a restriction in regard to marriage, however, that is very strict. Each individual is a member of a certain totemic group, or clan, and marriage between members of the same clan is strictly tabooed as ...a form of incest. The clans, however, are all equal in this respect, as marriage may take place between any two.
As a rule, it may be added, married people, if such concubinage should be called marriage, are quite sympathetic with each other.

Polygamy was practiced in the past quite generally. A man could have as many wives as he could get and keep. His residence in such a case was his own, but each wife had her own property, the children she bore belonging to her and her clan.
