Convert, slowly move to monotheism.

(Nature spirits --> Earth mother ---> greek/roman-style pantheon ----> monotheistic god in whose name we shall commit horrible atrocities! )
That's not really how it worked though, the Hebrew were fairly monotheistic from the beginning, it was the Diaspora that started converting everyone else.
Then christianity took over. It was almost usurped by Islam, but Islam began too late, I think. The enlightenment hit before it could convert enough people to be bigger than Christianity.
I know it didn't happen like that - that was just a suggestion how it might work for us: Slowly moving away from pagan concepts towards more and more abstract concepts of the divine. Maybe after monotheism we can go to something like enlightened pantheism (google pantheism if you don't know it; it's a cool concept :D )

Save his ass.

Or, at least try to. I doubt we have the skill, but we may be able to make him more comfortable.

The less Xenophobic we make ourselves, the harder we become to conquer, as the enemy that takes our land is slowly transformed into the Mali by a different name.

We become a Center Nation.

Something like that kept happening to the historical babylonians: They would get conquered, and their temple-tower would be desecrated by the new ruler. But only a few generations later, the ruler's offspring would once again have everyone worship the old babylonian gods...

(Say, does this thing work similar to spore with regards to Karma? So we save that dude ---> less xenophobia, less militarism, more social & commercial orientation? )

EDIT: And yeah, try to save him. If it works, attribute it to some sort of earth-mother; if it doesn't, either to hostile sorcerers or some transcendental kind of evil... concept.
Yeah.

Idea <3 Lets take a couple of yards of vine and intertwine them in a crisscross pattern. We need a row of 20 (near) equal sized vines and a column of the same. Make the spacing (holes in between where the column and rows meet) half the size of the average size of the fish we catch. it must be strong enough to be able to hold a man or two, so we would need to test it out by lifting one volunteer up via a strong arm, tree branch, and the vine mesh.

Lets keep out of the religious aspect. Let it form naturaly, not rushed, or we might loose respect.

Good idee!
Also, try to catch some animals. But do nothing dangerous.

Well, we should promote religion as it develops (opium for the masses and all that :D )(I mean that as a compliment to religion btw), pushing it in a peaceful, non-xenophobic, solidarity-promoting direction. But do nothing that could harm our social standing!
(Can you call it street cred when there are no streets?)

Animal farming may be a viable tactic. To make use of the parts of the steppe that can't be used for agriculture, you know.

added a picture. It might be better for fishing than anything else. And, when i thought of it, it is impractical for long term use (more than a week) because the fibers will dry out, but, it gives us the knowledge, ant that's what we need. We can work out the long term use later with strips of hide.

make another net.

Since we've settled down permanently, we should start gardening. Any frits we eat should be buried nearby the tribe, on a hunch that they might be responsible for plants. How else do they grow?

Yup, start agriculture with a few full-time farmers.

Also look for ores!
