- kbelder 4y agoCan you detail what you mean by 'cultures'?
- michaelwww 4y agoI can do better. I can recommend the works of Edward T. Hall. Several of his discoveries about how Native Americans view time have been helpful to me. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_T._Hall https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_T._Hall https://nobaproject.com/modules/time-and-culture https://nobaproject.com/modules/time-and-culture
