Theses communities were primarily based around fishing and may provide a good source of inspiration for isolated native communities. In particular, the island of St Kilda was home to a very isolated community until the islanders were removed. I'm a bit sketchy on the details because it's been many years since I last read my books which mention the subject. I'll have a look through my library and find some books that may be appropriate as points of reference. The kind of isolated existance (even until the early decades of the 20th Century) that the St Kildans had to endure could be taken as a model for natives living in such conditions. They primarily subsisted on a diet of fish and birds(caught by climbing the massive cliffs surrounding the island. The birds were fulmars, I think, although I'll need to check that out. Hope this is some use.

My inability to attend cons is a case of not having a job and thus not having enough money to pay for all the associated costs of going. ----- Original Message ----- From: Kevin L.
