It has been stated above that clans are organized on two 

 different principles, namely, on enatic kinship and on agnatic 

 kinship. Some years ago the Director proposed that the enatic 

 group be called a clan, and the agnatic group a gens, and this 

 suggestion has been followed by Mr. Dorsey, who therefore 

 treats of the gens in Omaha Sociology.
