The Maven Culture

Do peace, unity, and equality still exist this day in time among groups of people? Are we influenced by our environment to associate our way of seeing things and create language based on that fact? How we view the environment around us helps shape our understanding by creating language to give it meaning. Based on the linguistic data of the recently discovered tribe, we can draw conclusions about the tribe’s climate and terrain, diet, views on family and children, system of government and attitude towards war. This data shows that the lost tribe was an isolated group that lived in a valley, coexisted in unison, valued life, had high regards for

The two psychologists, Piaget and Siegler, were interested in identifying and describing the ages of children when the developmental

This caused a psychological aspect as they never knew the location of their next meal. Next, was the health of this society which was typically bigger and longer lived than most agriculturalists. (pg.31) Typically this was because of the meat and the protein that the meat contained, which enabled them to escape diseases from agriculture. Lastly, the material living standards did not affect the Hunger Gatherers because taxes and war did not exist. The differences between elites and non-elites in this time period typically did not exist as they maneuvered in bands and short ranged networks typically consisting of roughly 30 people, where even the chief had little power over his people. If one person became frustrated he could simply leave his tribe and move on.

The male had to show the woman’s father his skills as a hunter or warrior. If the father was impressed and approved of the marriage, the man and woman would exchange gifts of horses and clothing and were considered married. The married couple would reside in their own tipi or with the husband’s family. Although the man was permitted more than one wife, typically he only chose one. In cases of more than one wife, quite often the male would choose a sister of the wife, believing that sisters would not argue as much as total strangers

In the Mundugumor societies, they have standardized the behavior of both men and women as “actively masculine, virile, and without the softening and mellowing characteristics that we are accustomed to believe are inalienably womanly” (165). The Mundugumor women disliked childbearing and even disliked children. Unlike the Arapesh, both sexes of the Mundugumor people were angry and aggressive.

In the Middle East they ate wild grains with the helps of sickles. In the Amazon they had learned to cut back on some to plants to encourage growth of favored ones. Horticulture varied from each region .

indians,the cahuilla and the mojave.these desert indians ate specific food and here are some things they ate,they ate corn, beans, cactus fruit, pumpkins, melon, nuts, rabbits, raccoons, and rattlesnakes too. Many tribes that have acorns around are lucky, because they could make acorn flour using acorns, water,seed beater,fire,toppings too!

Farming also lead to bouts of malnutrition. On page 3, Standage states, "According to the archaeological evidence, farmers

The environments that the Coastal and plateau groups lived in affected the resources they had available and impacted how they obtained their food and what they ate. For example on page 1234 the text said,“Some of the food that the Coastal Puyallup ate was, five kind of salmon that they caught. Also they hunted deer, elk, black bear, beavers, raccoons, marmot.” Similar to Coastal Puyallup The Plateau Colville also hunted deer, elk, etc. But the Coastal Puyallup’s primary food is salmon. And for their dessert was fish eggs. However the Plateau Colville didn't eat salmon. Although on page 926 the text says, “The food hunt were extremely well organized. And the leftovers were dried or frozen for later consumption.” This shows wherever they

The people of Jarmo ate many different things. They grew barley and 2 types of wheat. They also ate meat from their animals (goat, sheep and pigs). In addition, they also consumed large amounts of land snails.

Food was no exception. Wherever a tribe was located, they learned what plants would grow there and how to hunt the animals in the area. Many tribes survived mostly hunting and fishing. In the Arctic and extreme northern parts of North America, most tribes relied entirely on hunting and fishing. The reason for this was simple---nothing would grow there! Other tribes hunted mostly big game, like buffalo or carabao. Those tribes moved frequently in order to follow the herds. Almost all tribes hunted at least part of their food. Most tribes hunted deer and rabbits, and caught fish in rivers and lakes. Native Americans felt very strongly that they should not waste food, so they were careful to eat all of an animal that they killed. Agriculture, or farming, was very common among native tribes. Farming was most common among settled tribes who did not move around very often. It was most advanced in the Southern United States, where the warm climate created a long growing season. The tribes of the Southeast developed special methods for growing their food. They used irrigation, crop rotation and planted windbreaks to ensure their crops. The main crops that were grown by Native Americans were corn, beans, and squash. Corn, in particular, was a very important part of the diet of Native Americans. It was referred to as maize by many Native Americans. Most Americans of today are used to corn in shades of

These native peoples had to then change recipes and use other technologies so their bodies would be healthy and survive. One method that was used, that Pilcher describes, is the combination of the protein and amino acids from corn and beans as eating corn alone does not supply a balanced diet, but both corn and beans do.

Today, the writing of ancients and archeologists has given us insight about the foods that were eaten, and the manner in which they were prepared. Their climate, soil, and terrain of the region exposed that it was especially good for growing grains, legumes, beans, olive trees, and grape trees (Moulton 3). Grain was their primary ingredient for making flour, which was used in the most common foods eaten. Including varieties of bread, porridge, biscuits, and cakes. They

Childhood is not a biological state, unlike infancy (Postman) it is a construction placed upon a group of humans by society (James and Prout). Differing societies have different views of what a child is and should be. The ideas surrounding children and childhood not only differ within different societies there are also historical differences in the constructs of children (Postman) as if we look throughout history it is suggested that children are a modern day construct (Postman). Aries (1962) suggests that even as early as the late seventeeth century, when

Females do give birth to the children, but in these societies, a female is more like a piece of property than of heritage. Marriage in these societies is usually based on the best dowry, rather than being based on love like most modern marriages.
