Seven Sectors
Lifeways
/ˈlaɪfˌweɪz/ Noun (plural)
Lifeways encompass human activities and cultural practices that shape a community's interaction with its environment, notably these seven key categories: subsistence foodways (agriculture, aquaculture, and other food-faring practices), social organization and kinship, economic systems, spiritual beliefs and practices, communal place-making, artistic expressions, cultural tools and technologies. These elements define how communities adapt to their respective and evolving environments, organize their societies, manage resources, and sustain their collective heritage.
