Learned a New Word: Moiety

In describing the Haida, John Valleant used the word moiety.

Generically, it means a half.

Specifically in this case, it meant the anthropological usage:

Either of two kinship groups based on unilateral descent that together make up a tribe or society.

The Haida tribe is organized as two super-clans, so this makes sense.
