>>1403055>Mate I have spoken to tribesmen in Peru and Ghana that have built much of their culture around the sanctity of the huntSounds like they were blowing smoke up your ass for tourist-bucks.
I spent a week with a tribe in Panama and they said the same shit, but you could tell it was bullshit.
I've hunted dozens of animals from Missouri to Texas with friends local to everywhere in between, and the only ones that ever made mention of silly shit like that were either "I'm 1/90000 native american" larpers or suburbanites.
The great depression hit parts of the US hard, and many didn't recover until the 50's/60's.
My parents grew up poaching to feed their dozen brothers/sisters, and the same is true for a large portion of people I know.
I'm telling you, at least in America, nobody who sees hunting as a utility rather than a sport spends time praying over a cooling hog carcass while it's innards stink up the place.
