What do Indians, rural and small-town residents, resi-dents, tribal peoples everywhere, Third-World peasants, and life-long residents of urban neighborhoods have in common? They share a common psychology of place-bound people. Those who haven't had the experience expe-rience of bonding with a particular place don't know or understand the role "place" can play in a person's life. For those whose roots are sunk deep into a "place," the communal values of mutual obligation and involvement in-volvement seem out of step with individualistic, in-dividualistic, free-enterprise culture that discards relationships in the interest in-terest of careers, self-interest and material well-being. What is the common psychology or outlook of place-bound people? "People are people through other people." - Xhosa (South Africa) proverb Place-bound people understand that the values of charity, sharing, and cooperation are a basic expression expres-sion of humanity. Hospitality and sharing of material goods come easily and naturally. One's identity and destiny include the well-being and destiny of others. It is a psychology of "we" inside of "I." Roles are defined and prescribed. pre-scribed. Democratic debate and criticism crit-icism are encouraged, but with the object of reaching agreement and avoiding division. One learns to accommodate ac-commodate the interests of others or to bend one's will to the interest of the group. Decision-making is an unhurried process with the goal of arriving at a consensus. The inclusive warmth, caring and support of a tribal community are gifts to enable everyone to survive. This is especially so in a subsistence subsis-tence economy where mutual help and support are critical. Acquisitiveness is not the driving force in a place-bound society. The surplus goods benefit the group rather than the individual. When subsistence is viewed as all that is possible, work doesn't have the energizing en-ergizing role it has in more individ- Annual Bowling Tourney set for Sept. 24 Uintah Basin Women's Bowling Assoc iau'on Annual City Tournament meeting will be held at Dinah Bowl on Sept 24 at 10 a.m. A review of the rules will be given as well as dates for the Ciiy Tournament.

People learn the wisdom and traditions tra-ditions of the past. Memories are important. One of the main tasks of life is to teach the values and wisdom wis-dom of the community to the young so they can take their places as sustained sus-tained of the community. Time isn't viewed as a commodity. commodi-ty. There is a lot of it The cycle of life repeats itself through birth and death, summer and winter, sowing and harvesting, young and old...a never-ending succession of patterns and rhythms. One generation replaces re-places the next. There is a comforting comfort-ing sameness to life. Place-bound people take time to celebrate life and special occasions. Place-bound people are distressed by conflict and confrontation. Feeling judged or excluded by the group is painful. Identity is with the group. To be apart from the group is to lose part of oneself. "Belonging" meets a great human need. Place-bound people often hide their pain, differences or anger because be-cause they do not want to risk an irreconcilable ir-reconcilable disturbance. Harmony is everything. Problems are resolved re-solved through gossip and indirect social control. Land and nature are held in mystical mysti-cal regard. The land gives life, substance, sub-stance, security, and identity. The "place" is alive. It is whole. It is the glue that holds things together. People feel connected with their surroundings. To be removed from place is a disorienting experience. Meanings are lost. To be separated from place is to be separated from the vital energy en-ergy upon which one depends for nourishment, strength, and identity. People from place-bound communities commu-nities are oriented toward the past. They know who they are and where they come from. Their hunger for social details confirms how history can explain the present Everything fits together. There is a closeness with a small but caring community. People arc never far away from sorrow sor-row and triumph. Caring extends beyond the family to a large assortment assort-ment of relatives, friends, and neighbors.

The ultimate compliment is to be known as a community-minded person, one who has served the community well and at personal expense. Individual accomplishments pale in comparison compari-son to a reputation for community service. For a society that is so future-oriented and reward-conscious, place-bound place-bound people offer a contrast to the hard-charging, hard-edged strivings of our society. Interchangeable, mobile mo-bile individuals in our modem world have no idea how rewarding belonging to and participating in a community can be. In our modern society, we need something of what village people, and village life have to offer. Lives need balance. Rural communities commonly talk about the high quality quali-ty of life they enjoy. The dominant culture with little collective memory, memo-ry, disposable relationships, rampant consumerism, and competitive insecurities inse-curities can learn valuable lessons from place-bound people.
