Within this tradition are minor variations between the various aboriginal tribes of Europe. As I was creating the Indian and Metis sections of this study I couldn't avoid noticing two fundamentally different cultures between the Indian and European. I was forced to research these differences. Culture is our collection of assumptions that we apply to life, living and our pursuit of activities. Culture is our way of viewing things.
Culture is our way of communicating.
Culture is driven by our principles, beliefs and values that determine our perceptions, attitudes, expectations, language, interactions and patterns of our existence. Beliefs are basic 'assumptions' of right and wrong. Beliefs and values shape and mold a culture more than any other factor. They however should not be accepted as true without definitive proof. Values on the other hand are important viewpoints or references for ways of doing things.
