@OriginalDumbMan So? That is still monetary. That was still a voncept that somehow, someone's time, material goods, etc had a monetary value.

Native Americans worked in terms of reciprocity and only worked in trade once colonizers came to the New Land.

The fact remains, value is just an imaginary concept placed on things that were provided originally for free. We never were required to place a value on anything.
