That book doesn't deal with tribes which have adapted to living in the modern world though, which is the case here. 'Iwi' is the word for tribe in Maori, hence...

Hmmm - try this one: http://www.ngapuhi.iwi.nz/ Read the guest book - some of it's in English...
'pakeha' there refers to non-Maori - ie, I'm a pakeha.
I agree with you about the importance of individualism, but I don't see it as mutually exclusive in this case. And there's plenty of restrictions in a capitalist system - especially for the poor. Where do you live if you can't afford the rent?
I'll take a look, sure! tribal psychology is my favorite theme somehow.
but... there is nothing that good in the capitalist society.
but if you can't pay the rent, you'll live under a bridge, in a trash can, get to prison after all.
in a tribe in case you get into a serious conflict with the head of your household or the tribe in the whole - you are dead. fast and simple... in the best case, you are reduced to a non-human condition you can avoid here even living under a bridge (you can't always avoid it in the prison though).
