If you haven't been to the poster page, please go, ESPECIALLY if you didn't have your ethnography on the wiki around 7-8ish last night. I have what I put on the poster about each section, so please make sure to incorporate what is on the poster to your paper. If your ethnography was on the wiki when I made my summaries, I used that to go off of, but if it wasn't (family and household, art and cultural values, and kinship and social organization), please be sure to see what I wrote about your section and make sure it matches up with your paper. It'd probably be bad if the two didn't match up, eek!!! Thanks!

when we say that we have 3 main living places (caretakers, subsistence people, and children/youth), what are we thinking about as far as the structures of these go? are they huts or concrete buildings? if anyone can find a good picture that would represent this, post a link or something and i'll print it out and get it on the poster
