I'm Kate Gillogly, Ph.D., anthropology at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside. I am referencing the Kwaio of the Solomon Islands (S. Pacific) circa 1979-1984.

Made easier by menstrual 'taboos,' which allowed women to sit and relax during their menstrual period. I envied them that!!!!

Connecting! I so miss the good parts of Twitter. Good discussions, good help in setting up new classes.

I have information about a fairly mobile horticulturalist society from personal experience, but not foragers. Basically, it's sit around with absorbent leaves and relax.

I'm pretty sure we 'all' tried!

Ooooh, sounds fun. Wish I could be there with my Anthropology of Language class!

I was specifically told in grade school that all I needed was to be able to balance my checkbook. Imagine my surprise when, in uni, I took stats and found I loved it!

Um, a forensics specialist? Or going to grind them up for fertilizer? With the slaughter of American buffalo, there was a huge trade in the dried bones for agriculture.

Cool. Thanks to BlueSky, I got to jump onto this and make a donation!!!! Been making tons of little donations, mostly monthly so that it's consistent for the campaign.

So very very sad.
