A look at an IRL tribal society.

So Old I'm Losing Radiation Signs
Ok came across a news article about the lost Roanoke colony, and saw a bit that really applies to the general post appoc setting.

Nothing major, but I think the dumv savage aspect of tribals has been overdone a little at times.

The evidence shows the colony left Roanoke Island with the friendly Croatoans to settle on Hatteras Island. They thrived, ate well, had mixed families and endured for generations. More than a century later, explorer John Lawson found natives with blue eyes who recounted they had ancestors who could “speak out of a book,” Lawson wrote.

The two cultures adapted English earrings into fishhooks and gun barrels into sharp-ended tubes to tap tar from trees.

I read about that. That is probably the best explanation for where they went.
 
So they degenerated into worthlessness, got it.

Fucking hate Tribals.

Did Somebody say Tribals!
 
The earrings into fishhooks especially stands out, that shiny gold and silver being used as fishhooks.

Itd make for a neat postapoc setting seeing trapings of modern life repurposed for different uses, say a giant serving fork flattened and sharpened as a spear for fishing.
