Yep. And the Hopi, and the Australian natives, and so many indigenous peoples, and cultures like early Greece and Egypt. It helps having a culture that's rooted in a place, though the Apache aren't quite in the place they used to be.
It's a good way to live. And I'm getting much too profound for a simple fanfic, but anyway, it pleased me, and it hadn't occurred to me that the way the Ronso live with Gagazet is a fantasy world depiction of one of the basic modes of experience that western culture happens not to embrace. :)
Now I need to go back and read your other pieces, because Kimahri's fun!
