While most descriptions of nomadic societies begin with a male perspective to which is added later the role of women, the present text enters the Nabesna semi- nomadic way of life as defined by the women, with the men involved as primary actors in hunting but not necessarily as primary producers of the cultured environment. The Nabesna women conjugate their role as creators and keepers of the human environment, including dwellings, clothing and food preservation with their participation in hunting, food gathering, and other pursuits that take them away from the camp or the village in the forest, often by themselves. These contacts mean they have to develop their relationship with the non-human environment not only as predators but also as full-fledged participants in the shamanic web of communication and influence.
