Text source: http://wolnelektury.pl/katalog/lektura/ ... cific.html (please only read from this text!)In this seminal work Bronisław Malinowski studies the institution of the Kula ring gift exchange.
The Kula ring spans 18 island communities of the Massim archipelago, including the Trobriand Islands and involves thousands of individuals. Participants travel at times hundreds of miles by canoe in order to exchange Kula valuables which consist of red shell-disc necklaces (veigun or soulava) that are traded to the north (circling the ring in clockwise direction) and white shell armbands (mwali) that are traded in the southern direction (circling counterclockwise).
