Native America Calling: Is there another way to look at time?
Monday, March 11, 2024
Is there another way to look at time?
For most states this time of year, shifting time is as easy as moving the hour hand forward an hour.
But Daylight Savings Time doesn’t change the staunch allegiance to the clock required during the typical day. It wasn’t always that way.
Tribes once had built-in schedules for harvests, ceremonies, family and feasts. Some of those traditions may have adapted to eight-hour work days, and five-day work weeks, but remnants of different cultural approaches to time remain.
