As I think about the possibility of starting a tribal business, I get distracted by wondering what I have to do to be legal. I worry that the government is going to penalize me in some way or pass legislation to make it impossible to have a tribal business.Categories: I Need Some Clarification|Tags: Beyond Civilization, Evolution, Revolution, Tribal|Read More
The Makaw tribe of the American Northwest is trying to return to their traditional life, resuming their hunt of the gray whale, but are opposed by all sorts of interest groups who think this shouldn’t happen.

I am currently researching the evolution of various hunter gathers to the point of sedentarisation, where agriculture becomes the predominant method of subsistence. I was wondering if you knew of any hunter gatherer groups that have evolved past the “leaver” philosophy into an agrarian culture and then did a complete 180 back into their indigenous lifestyle. Also, do you think the recent whaling situation of the Makah people in the Northwest coast is representative of this move “backwards” or is it more likely these people are generating a pseudo-hunter-gatherer society?Categories: I Have a Question On a Specific Subject|Tags: Agriculture, Hunting, Leavers & Takers, Technology|Read More

In Ishmael you state the Takers dependence on prophets. The Lakota had a prophet, White Buffalo Calf Woman. She gave the Lakota “laws” to live by. How about the Cheyenne, who have Sweet Medicine, he was a prophet. So how can I argue with people who say that the Leavers had prophets as well as the Takers?Categories: Here's My Opinion; What's Yours?, I Have a Question On a Specific Subject|Tags: Prophets, Religion, Tribal|Read More
If we return to Leaver cultures we will still be subject to the same conditions as Leaver peoples ten thousand years ago which gave rise to Taker culture.

There has been much talk lately where I live (the Seattle area) of the Makah Indian tribe, who have recently renewed the practice of whaling. Having just had my eyes opened by your books, I said “this is wonderful. They are returning to something that worked for them for a long time.” No-one else sees it that way however. Everyone here was angry, daring to lecture the Makah people about the “sanctity of life,” but I knew it was just because these supposed environmentalists had been conditioned to think that their way was the one right way to live. I was so excited to see a principle from your works in action, but became extremely disappointed when no-one gave what I had to say much thought. How do I find a positive in this situation, when few see it as such, and the rest won’t listen?Categories: I Need Some Clarification, I'd Like Some Advice|Tags: Animals & Animal Rights, Political Correctness|Read More
