The tribes studied were: Mohawk and/or Iroquois (microthermal climate); Maricopa (tropical desert environment); Hopi (desert); Sioux (midlatitude steppe grasslands); Makah (mesothermal climate); Eskimo (harsh polar environment); Samoan (tropical rainforest). Findings supported the hypothesis, indicating in each case that: (1) the socioeconomic and political structure was based on the extended family and/or clan; (2) land was communally owned by the group (extended family, clan, or village); (3) there was relative economic equality (with exception of the Makah who had slaves); (4) there was an obligation to share one's material goods with the less fortunate within the ethnocentric "in" group; (5) there were leadership roles which were not absolute or domineering; (6) there was some form of consensus; (7) the virtue of sharing and generosity was universal; (8) there were higher and better defined ideals when legends contained a recent spiritual leader; (9) the traditional stage had not included money or any dominant medium of exchange; (10) there was strong emphasis on self-discipline and self-denial especially among Mohawk, Hopi, and Sioux.
