The giveaway was central to tribal life. Without the giveaway the elders could not perform their duty to teach the young. Without it the widow or orphen would be without. Without it the Chosen Chief could not oversee the carrying out of the council decisions. Without it the members of the warrior society would not be able to perform their duty to prevent trouble or deal with it. Without the giveaway the village, the tribe and the way of life would not have existed. Remember that as something positive about the people and our way of life.
