Analysis of the knowledge base/level of Indigenous Peoples” is quite a demanding intellectual/scientific effort. As as example, the SW medicine men knew that in the year after a bumper crop of pinion nuts, a disease was more common - we know it as Hanta Virus.

Turns out the bumper crop of nuts led to a population explosion of rodents, and when the next year was back to normal level of pinion nut availability, the rodents came into the residential and food storage areas of the medicine man’s patients.

The rodent droppings carried the Hanta virus to the Indians when infected mice droppings contaminated food or possibly were dried, powdered under foot, and inhaled.

Question: Did they have a cure?

For Hanta?

I don’t know — but Hanta is high on the list of things you do not want to come down with.

I love coming across Pinion Nuts. If my Survival is too low, I just read a Lad's Life, and I can craft Trail Mix at any Campfire I happen across!

Did they know about cats?
