Gender Roles
THESE GENTLEMEN ARE NATIVE AMERICANS

The idea that we are equal stops at the ground beneath our feet. The soil of India, the land of Bharat, is owned chiefly by men. Figures drew on the agricultural census of 2000 and 2001, which found just 12 million women owned land, out of 120 million landholders.The definition of an Indian man is simpler: A man is someone who can own and inherit land. Men have property; women, mostly, do not.===== http://ibnlive.in.com/news/freedom-from-gender-imagining-equality-for-men-and-women-in-india/417300-55.html

Sexual permissiveness/restrictiveness
Indian men who were going on hunting or war expeditions generally held the view that sex with their wives or other women was polluting and depleting. There are 10's of thousands of other eunuchs and homosexuals in India who dress as women. http://anthro.palomar.edu/marriage/marriage_6.htm https://nairview.wordpress.com/2013/12/11/homosexuality-banned-in-india-paradoxical-judgment-from-the-land-of-kamasutra/ **Family structure** For generations, India has had a prevailing tradition of the joint family system. It is a system under which extended members of a family parents, children, the children's spouses and their offspring, etc.live together. Usually, the oldest male member is the head in the joint Indian family system. He makes all important decisions and rules, and other family members abide by them. India has witnessed a break up of traditional joint family into more nuclear-like families. http://praveengosain.hubpages.com/hub/Culture-in-India

Food gathering and/or production
The most important food crop was Indian corn (also known as maize). The majority of Indian tribes grew at least some corn, and even tribes that did not grow corn themselves often traded with neighbors for it. Other important Indian crops included beans, squash, pumpkins, sunflowers, wild rice, potatoes, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, peanuts, avocados, papayas, and chocolate. //http://www.native-languages.org/food.htm//

Use of art (music, painting, body modification, etc.)
In addition to the bindi, in India, a vermilion mark in the parting of the hair just above the forehead is worn by married women as commitment to long-life and well-being of their husbands. During all Hindu marriage ceremonies, the groom applies sindoor on the parting in the bride's hair. The music of India includes multiple varieties of folk music, pop, and Indian classical music. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bindi_%28decoration%29 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_of_India http://perumusicalinstruments.blogspot.com/ http://tlmorgan.com/next/indian.html
