holiday and subsistence strategies

For your Week 5 paper, you will have two goals. First, you will discuss the foods you eat during your favorite holiday. Second, you will discuss the foodways of a non-industrial culture (foraging, horticulture, or pastoralism). Make sure that you name a specific culture (ex.! Kung, Kwakwakawakw, Maasai). You cannot just discuss a subsistence strategy. You will need to discuss a cultural group that relies on a foraging, horticultural, or subsistence lifeway.

When writing your paper, discuss at least two of the following for both:

• What are the modes of subsistence involved? How do you/they get food?
• What roles do each family member have? Do these vary by gender or age?
• What are the myths, norms, attitudes, or history associated with this event/lifeway?

Use in-text citations from the textbook and one outside, scholarly source to back up your points. Scholarly sources include journal articles and textbooks written by professionals. Your paper must be 1-to-3-pages, double-spaced, and in APA Style. For guidance on formatting your paper in APA style, please visit the
