If any American parent tried raising their kids like the tribe in this article they'd be immediately sent to prison, probably for several decades if not life. And if any of the kids tried acting like the kids in that tribe, they'd also get sent to prison just as fast.
Not quite as young as the kids in the article- but by age 6 I was handling a pocket knife, building camp fires (with supervision), and cooking over said camp fires (hot dogs on a stick, etc).
Yeah, but you can't take a machete to school and build a campfire on the playground, nor can you go on vacation for a few days and leave your kids to wander around downtown LA with only a machete and some matches.
