The indigenous cultures that resided in the Pacific Northwest lost things that even now remain outside of the understanding of the colonists that took over their lands and reshaped them in ways that leave them unrecognizable as the places that were here before. The far reaching impact these changes had on the landscape and ecology of the Pacific Northwest resulted in loss of lifestyle and tradition in addition to the loss of place. The sudden and unexpected remodeling of the landscape caused the…

This put them into a state of duel conscious, which produced a nervous condition. They were constantly being pulled between two different cultures. This can harm people as they feel they have nowhere to fit in. They feel isolated and this…

The study of Anthropology has proven to be flexible in the way in which cultures are studied. From when the study first began to the 20th century, many different ways of viewing culture have been documented, and many of those ways have been refuted.

Their culture had no common order, but Benedict did say (page 173) “They were a people of great possessions as primitive people go.” They relied on goods, inexhaustible, and obtained without using harsh labor. They mostly depended on fish as their sores of food. Their life, mostly depends on the ocean, they even…

Section one of this document expands upon the controversy (dispute) surrounding diffusion. Section two deals with the alternatives that were raised to help the problem. One such alternative combined both creation and dispersion into a process: cultures begin inventing and this later diffuses throughout societies. The third, and final, section observes how follow-up studies concerning innovation, especially technological innovation, identified the sequence thrive as a…
