Survival was an all-encompassing task for the Anzewanche. One of a father’s responsibilities was to teach his sons how to survive. There wasn’t a school to which they could send their children; they had to teach them on their own. If a father was negligent in teaching his son, the son would most likely die.

The people of the Anzewanche may have been the inventors of situational awareness. They knew when enemies were about by the reactions of the birds and squirrels. They could tell when a storm was coming. Anzewanche would see things in the world around them that you and I would pass over, without a moment’s notice.

The Anzewanche had to get everything they needed from nature, and they did. Whether it was flint to start a fire or animal skins to make clothes, they found everything they needed in the world around them. Few of us would be able to survive if we were just dumped in the wilderness with nothing. But for the Anzewanche, that was just everyday life.

It is important to note here that the Anzewanche were satisfied with what nature provided. While many Anzewanche cultures used gold and silver, they were not seeking to amass wealth for themselves. They were satisfied with the lives they had, and not wanting anything more.
