Economy of Gifts

With global capitalism under way to collapse, I would like to start living in an economy of gifts. I've lived on communes with an egalitarian-communist structure, but I would like to try an egalitarian tribal-clan way. Not so much structure as flow. Perhaps in following the MotherSpine, that is the trail from mountain peak to peak, I could get at the essence of the snake dance. I also take MotherSpine to mean reserve of ecosystem, bread root and the rest. In that way we dig and plant back, and everyone's invited to a potlatch. You just give what you've brought away and trust that everyone else will too! The Bigheads brought dried fish. The Little Tooth brought camas. And the Stretchears brought payote, ya know.
