Il refuse d'abdiquer la culture des anciens mais apprécie les avantages des incursions des gens du Sud dans le Nord.

What is the role of storytelling in creating and maintaining culture, knowledge and a connection to history and life skills? How does a society determine what is to be revered and valued as it is, vs. what is discarded or adapted to new realities? Why does the community need to maintain its hunting skills?
