It is informed by CitationSchermerhorn's (12) definition of an ethnic group as "a collectivity ... having a real or putative common ancestry, memories of a shared historical past, a cultural focus on one or more symbolic elements defined as the epitome of their peoplehood ... [such as one or a combination of] kinship patterns, ... religious affiliation, language, ... nationality, phenotypical features [– and] some consciousness of kind among members of the group". 2.
