Indigenous Conflict Resolution, Counting Coup and Ritualized Warfare
The discussion refutes the trope of constant tribal warfare, describing a "use model" of land where resources like fruit were shared among neighbors. In California, disputes were often settled through "counting coup," a form of ritualized warfare similar to competitive sports. The guest acknowledges more violent exceptions, such as the Aztecs described by Graham Hancock, but suggests extreme violence may have been a response to environmental stressors like drought.
