IAAP Weblog: Universal Forum of Cultures, Barcelona 2004
Communication across boundaries and cultures is paramount, and the idea of communication is being expanded beyond the realm of the written and spoken word.
The Forum's philosophy is that playing, laughing, dancing and singing together may perhaps ally people of different cultures and languages more strongly than conversations or written documents.

But another culture might accept you and you might be allowed to live with them.
We respect them and their ways but we are a very reclusive culture and we tend to frown upon other Dalmites who become loyal to other cultures rather than their own.
Changing cultures would be strictly roleplay...you will not change looks, stats, skills, etc., if you decide to be a Dalmite living in another culture.

Conquests and Cultures is the final book in Thomas Sowell’s trilogy exploring the formation and importance of human culture.
But the key point is the transmission of culture, and Sowell argues that the impact of Western civilization on native peoples was largely, although certainly not entirely, beneficial.
The fact that cultural contact gave some benefits to the Indians is no justification for forced resettlements, reneging on treaties, or massacres.

China History Forum is an online chinese history forum, discussion board or community for all who are interested in learning and discussing chinese history from prehistoric till modern times, including chinese art of war, chinese culture topics.
I have noted that some features on neolithic Chinese jades show faces similar to the masks in the pits, so it is probable there was cultural contact between a number of groups and some influence and evolutions to and from because of this (and of course possibly violence).
That numerous cultures distinct to the central plains Chinese existed outside of the central plains area has been well established...and diversity existed in noticable forms even as late as Han.

At least Iroquois (that I can recall now) were Matrifocal and this organization seems to have been typical in most agrarian societies before the evolution of Patriarchy.
