 Economy:

I. Short term Modes of Production:

The plane was conveying enough food to last about a month. We will eat those and a touch of

vegetation close to the accident site like mushrooms, berries. Zihan will be given the duty of

gathering and bringing food things utilizing Birch Bark compartment that we found from the close by

camp. We will be living in the tail of the Plane, sharing everything. Fahad will cook the food.

II. Long term Modes of Production:

-Foraging- Egalitarian belief in distributing labor.

Moved toward building wooden houses for everybody and utilized Stone Biface to gather wood

for those houses. Everybody will contribute, for example, cutting trees and hacking wood.

Additionally, we will manufacture a fence around the camp for security.

For hunting we will use Antler Harpoon Tip, Bow, and the Antler Arrow point from the

surrendered camp while Fish Net Needle to make fish net for fishing and as we become bigger in

number, the far we will go to fish and for that we will utilize the Birch Bark Canoe to cross the

stream. Once we had hunted an animal, we will use the Lithic Scraper to skin animal faster. Zihan

will go and collect mushrooms and berries. The cooks will be Fahad and use Bone knife for cutting

animals for cooking. When the fuel and match boxes are done, we will utilize Bow Drill Fire Starter

kit from the deserted camp to make fire utilizing wood. Step by step, we will get capable in utilizing

the devices and will have the option to make a few items like catches too for food consumption with

the utilization of fish nets and other metal items which we searched from the destroyed plane. This

work will be done for the most part by Fahad as he has impressive information in it.

know.

III. Political Organization and Control:

I. For defense we use bows and hunting tools like the wood spiked lances which we made by

chopping wood and cutting them into pointed deadly weapons. Each part was prepared on the

best way to use it so as to guard our gathering. Use of a bell to alert the whole society in case

of an emergency. The men of the group created a slightly elevated tower which could

overlook a certain distance, it worked as a watch tower for member who were on duty for

protection every night. This item was for the most part made by wood and bamboo leaf’s for

tying the parts. Cut by tomahawks which we recovered close by the accident site.

 Religion and Spiritual Beliefs:

I. Religious belief is Syncretism. Mixing of Christianity, Islam and Hinduism, which is the

majority of our society belief but other religion is free to be added.

II. A common myth we believe in is if we see a red fox, it is a bad sign and will cause us harm in

a certain way individually or to the whole society.

III. We have easygoing specialists and we compose custom content or images on leafs, stones or

skin to be saved and utilized on. We imprint the content with a bone blade on a close by tree.

Everybody can cut what they have faith in.

IV. Spiritual beliefs are:

(a) Fasting- we would fast once in a month, sacrifice our food eating for God, so

he blesses us with more food and health.

(b) Festivals- when we break our fast, for celebration a special sort of mushroom is

used which we found near the bushes of the lake. The mushroom is a narcotic

but not a harmful one, it stimulates the brain in a soothing way.

Medicine and Health:

I. Washing hands, cleaning ourselves guaranteeing cleanliness when we hunt or gathe for food

or some other work. Prior to carrying the food to the camp, we will clean it in the river first.

enormous pot for drinking for the day.

 III. For waste management waste which is not meat or any daily waste will be gathered in bins

located inside and outside of the huts and every day in evening the men will allocate all the

bins and go dump in a hole which they dug themselves. A dumping ground as the eco system

should not be disturbed and any waste which is food related will be used as bait for fishes or

hunting.

IV. A separate quarantine hut for members who are sick. Till they are not cured, they are asked to

stay there as if the disease spreads it can be devastating because we need active members

working so the society can stand on its foot.

Social Organization/Ceremonies/Values:

I. For group activities, everyone would gather around a bonfire, tell what they did for the day,

share stories to avoid anxiety or loneliness. For entertainment, when we hunt a big animal

(moose) we would celebrate it around a bonfire and dance/ Feast. Social engagement, never be

alone for gathering or hunting. Give each other moral support and letting them know that this

is a team and without them the society will crumple so everyone is honored in their specific

ways through which they contribute to the society.
