"Anthropologists study people and all facets of living such as how people and populations inter-relate, their culture, their religion and how biology does or does not effect the way they live. Biologist and ecologist study living things including plants, animals and people and their relationship to their habitats and environments. Often certain beliefs, legends, stories, and superstitions are created to serve a spiritual or social purpose such as to dictate behavior, teach a lesson or provide important information. There is a need to investigate further if a relationsip exists between reverance for the white buffalo (and other non-albino animals) in Native American religion, known historical patterns of disease characteristic of Nrf2 impairment that may be 'inheritable' and settlements of indigenous and native peoples that harvested metals near deposits. This is important for understanding population health and religion, both in the past and present, because even today, the white buffalo is still highly revered by Native Americans."
