As is the case with all families, some activities took place year round. Sons and daughters were educated in the social and cultural ways of the group. Story-telling and oral histories were important components of family and community education. Other tasks like the maintanence and manufacture of personal items such as clothing, arrow, hoes and axes, as well as household items such as pots, baskets, and knives were also undertaken as needed throughout the year.
