This is beautiful. In other tribes when someone is feeling stressed they do something similar, place in center and do everything they can to help the person feeling the negative emotions feel better. It's lovely to know these things happen, and all too wishful to hope we see a reflection of it in our own society
Source a) myself, degree in anthropology. Source b) "kinship and anthropology" Robert parkin and Linda stone source c) "seeing anthropology" Karl heifer source d) kinship and family (fuzzy on source d because I have misplaced the book and can't remember the title exactly) also, I can source Dr. Weis, a very notable anthropologist and professor of a university.

Sorry my sources aren't based on the internet and instead are seated in pages and accounts of field notes, but..yes. the picture in this post is fake, but tribal participation in individual stress relief is a thing

Nono I understand completely :) I also understand you have no way to know if I have a degree or not, I am not credible online. It's just am awesome thing and I want people to know it does exist in smaller tribes. ^^ but in the future I'll try harder to find internet based resources.
