Cornerstone: A Collection of Scholarly and Creative Works for Minnesota State University, Mankato
Abstract
The following study is the result of a naive scholar infiltrating and analyzing a culture that she was unaware of before this experience. The participants in the study demonstrated numerous consistent patterns in their communicative interactions with each other, including: invitational community, marking space, the metaphor of life as a journey , non-materialistic collectors, concrete positionality, producers and consumers of visual culture, and the joke is on all of us
