Conflicting Cosmoses:
It's always interesting to observe the interactions two very distinct cultures have with one another. In history, it's suggested that when this occurs, the probability for there to be physical violence is very high. Individuals in their societies see the World in a particular way, with particular rules that are often considered to be sacred. While most tribes probably don't have a word for, or a generalized Western concept on the term "sacred," they would probably understand it to be something like "the important things, people or places that MUST do what what they are supposed to do." With this general and somewhat vague description of global practices, understanding why the prevalence of inter tribal conflict is so high. When one sacred belief of one tribes interacts and conflicts with another tribe's sacred belief, physical violence to ensure the "proper" belief occurs, will likely be a result of the interaction.
