Known Traditions & Rituals:

Tattooing is the main way of expressing belief and status. All tattoos are done in what they called Sacred Blue. The blue of the sky. The blue of deep ice. All holds meaning to them and the Great Fox. Their tattoos tell their story both of the tribe and of themselves.

Deep Winter Hunt occurs possible once or twice in a generation. When the winter is so harsh that the Great Fox allows its kind to be hunted openly. The best hunters go off to seek the foxes of the Great Ice and return not only with a pelt but with something to feed the tribe with. Most return empty handed but not dishonored as the foxes were just more crafty on that day.
