It is important for human population to gather together. Most of the populace have an ethnicity they belong to. Even when it is the country of those leading in technology, tribes and ethnicity is still prevalent. It should be okay to tolerate tribes and ethnicity since it gives the uniqueness of people's culture a better show. It promotes better distinction.

There are numerous ethnicity and tribes around, depending on factors such as geography or history. One of the most popular tribes that people should know about is the Northern Arapaho tribe. The people belonging to this usually recognize themselves as Hiinono'ei. That term can be translated as wrongrooters, our people, or cloud people.

The territory of the Hiinono'ei extend to the communities in Wyoming. They cover Arapahoe, Ethete, and St. Stephens. In the past, though, the Hiinono'ei had extended their territories to as far as the Big Horn Mountain in the north, Arkansas River to the south, and Black Hills to the Rocky Mountains from the east to the west.

The economy of these people is actually enough to promote their survivals. If you want to have a better understanding of these people, then they have to understand how the livelihood of these people work. There are several elements for that. Here are the important elements that these people have in their economy.

First, there is subsistence. The wrongrooters have taken pride in their subsistence simply because they only get the right amount for them to survive. They rely on nature to give them what they needed for survival. They do not go over what is necessary. They usually hunt in nature for their sustenance, simply due to the fact that they are nomadic hunters.

Industrial arts is also the pride of the Hiinono'ei. Examples of what they take pride in would be the bow and arrow made from osage wood and dogwood respectively. Most of the time, they make things that help with making their industrial work much efficient. These masterpieces that are useful for work are good for men and women.

Delving into trade is a given for tribes that hunt. They just need to trade what they have obtained so that they can get the things necessary in their life that they cannot get in the wild. Trading can be done with the other tribes or settlements located in their area. Ultimately, trading should be necessary for survival.

Division of labor is also one of the things that the said people do their best in. Every member of the Hiinono'ei have a job assigned to them. For example, unmarried young women help with the household together with their mothers. Married adult women do the cooking and storage. Married men and unmarried men also have roles in hunting, though their specific roles are defined according to their age.

Land tenure is another one of the elements in the economy of the Hiinono'ei. Tribes recognized their own territories even when there is no actual definition of who owns what. They continue to defend their territories against those who have no business there. The profit from these lands, either by private agencies or the government, helps the Hiinono'ei.
