with other people through common language, place, and community. In the Americas, there is
vast cultural diversity among more than 2,000 tribal groups. Tribes have unique cultures and
ways of life that span history from time immemorial to the present day”(Native Knowledge 360,

Values
Todd believes in cremating the deceased. Cremating helps the dead enter the afterlife. He

believes everyone needs privacy. He also believes that age and gender are important as well as
