Throughout everything that was viewed in class, one thing that continued to pop up was Kinship. In the Native American culture Kinship is respected and required. It can be seen in the way each person interacts with another. One noticeable kinship example is that the children are raised by the entire tribe, not just their parents. Another example is their courtship, the man must have permission from the father/ guardian of the mother. Then they are supported by the entire clan. Kinship is also seen in how they help the widowed. They keep them apart of the family, providing for them in any way that they can. The providing for others also occurs in moments of hardship when there isn't much to go around but everyone in the tribe will share so everyone has.
