Document Summary
History of the family part 1 pre industrial families. The immigrants that come up until the 1880s, are almost entirely, british, French and germans that were thought were part of the british. Vast majority of them were forging families: forging society. We call them forging societies because this was the economic arrangement for these scoieties. The focus around how you survive was not agricultural, or afarming, they were foragers, and what this mean was they went around from place to place to find their food. This was important because they worshipped mother nature. The reason why they worshipped her was because she provided for them. Their job was just to find it. Forged meant that they had to pick up and move every few months because they had to follow the hunt. This is why aboriginal people were heavily connected to mother earth, nature and animals. They saw that all of us stemmed from the same source.
