The male Patamastevian also known as the Gatherers collect food for the women and children, and themselves of course. The older male Patamastevians build sandcastles. The female Patamastevian takes care of the younger Patamastevian until they become the age of 16 then they go off to work depending on their gender they either work taking care of kids of collecting food as a gatherer. They retire at the age of 52 and their IQ goes to 500 but it originally was 200. Since they become very knowledgeable in detail of the future, they select patamastevians through a testing to give them an inside look of the future in parts to see if they can figure it out exactly the plot of the future and if they do they become more powerful and head leaders of the society.
Every Patamastevian has a role and if one doesn’t do their part the system won’t work. For example, the gatherers also known as the male patamastevians need to collect as much food as they can in a day because once they get the seaweed out of the ground they have to wait a whole day for it to grow again. The females have to watch the babies until they turn 16 years old because once they 're 16 they get their job and go off as their own, now they have their own
One of the themes in Ceremony by Leslie Silko is the destructive patterns that occur between people from different cultures. Tayo himself is an example of those destructive patterns. Being a “half-breed,” Tayo’s place is not quite secure. Since he is half Indian, he is not really accepted by the white culture, but because he is also half white, he is not completely accepted into his reservation. Another example of destructive patterns is the war itself.
The book Ceremony is about a man named Tayo. Tayo returns home from war and had to face several mental and psychological challenges. He also has to figure out how to not only help himself, but his people through their beliefs. In Ceremony, by Leslie Marmon Silko, Tayo’s developing character helped show the audience the importance of tradition and community to him and his people.

I have chosen to use "The Creek Documents" as my primary source for "The McGillivray Moment". Historical American-Indian communities stayed for the most part as oral cultures. Many scholars of American and Indian history have restructured the Indian past by utulizing documents written from indian oral traditions and outsiders. Having to render documents written by outsiders is a process that is laden with problems. The outside spectators almost always could not comprehend what they were seeing.
The area of the Khina culture is a plateau region in the mountains, surrounded by slopes and lots of rocks located in central Africa. The group living in the region is a pastoralism/early agriculture-based society, needing to grow food and collect supplies to prepare and cultivate their crops. It has been well documented that the transition into agriculture was very hard on humans as a whole, all around the world, and this would have been no different living where the Khina people lived. While little formal and recent archaeological excavations have been done in the area, the ethnographic record with recorded accounts from around the 1920s is extensive and provides a lot of information about what could be expected in an excavation of the area
The Peculiar Institution: Slavery in the Ante-Bellum South takes a profound look into slavery in America from the beginning.

In the mid-nineteenth century, a girl named Ni-bo-wi-se-gwe (Oona) was born in pitch darkness in the middle of the day when the sun and moon crossed paths. The book Night Flying Woman by Ignatia Broker is the biography of Broker’s great-great-grandmother, Oona. It describes Oona’s life through what Broker has learned from her grandparents when they passed down the stories. In the book, one of the main themes is passing traditions on. I chose this theme because, in the book, passing traditions on is a major part of the characters’ culture.

One of the most important ceremony to the Nisqually tribe is the Potlatch Ceremony. The Potlatch was a common form of puberty, marriage, burial or naming. Each person invited to a Potlatch received a present. The present can be simple or complicated, depends on the person who planned the Potlatch. In funerals, “bodies of the dead were either buried in rocky ground or wrapped in ropes, placed in a fishing canoe covered by mat, and suspend 10 to 14 feet in the air between 2 trees.

The ritual also includes sermons that are lead by the leaders.
In a family there are many different roles; there's the role of the mother, the father, the child, the grandparents, then there’s the brothers and sisters. Every single one of those roles has different responsibilities. The father, according to most of society, is supposed to be the breadwinner for the family. However, nowadays the mother is actually quite capable of being the breadwinner just as much of as the father. As they work to show their children what it is to be an adult they are teaching them as well on how to be an active member of society.
“Children are expected to strive for family goals and not engage in behaviors that might bring dishonor to the family” (Sue & Sue, 2016, p. 514). According to Pai’s grandfather, as a woman, she cannot be chief of the tribe even though she has a genuine love for her tribe and a deep desire to lead them. My reaction to the collectivism of the family was hard to watch. It is difficult or see Pai’s desires and Kono’s view of gender roles tear the family apart. It was sad to see how much pain it seemed to cause Pai and Koro.
