As each indigenous group are far from being completely the same. One similarity we found between the tribes we research were the multi-use of plants.. Each group used plants as a source of food, they also used plants for medicine, and business.

The Lenape tribe used milkweed as a vegetable, and even chewed as gum. It is also used as medicine that treated ringworm and warts. For the Eyak tribe we could not tribe exact plants they used, but we did learn that plants were used for business and trade. The Bodo tribe used the plant Grewia hirsuta Vahl to treat dysentery and diarrhea, and it was also used as food. The Mao Naga tribe used cannabis sativa as vegetable and to relieve stiffness of muscles and muscle pains.

One distinction the Lenape tribe had were their beliefs, they believed spirits must be respected as they can be helpful or harmful. One thing our group learned about the Lenape tribe that caught our attention is that when one dies, their names dies also, this is to prevent any sadness on the family. A distinction the Eyak tribe held was that they were a exogamous tribe, which meant they could marry outside of their tribe. Personally our group never heard of tribe were you could do so. The Mao Naga tribe is actually one of the tribes that mostly had our attention due to one of their practices, the practice is head hunting. Head hunting is during war you collect the heads of the enemy to take on their power. The shijou plant is a symbol of bathou for the Bodo tribe, this plant is worship and is the supreme god.
