How is the "travellers'" culture described in the story, Cat, Herself?

Over the years, the travellers have developed a number of traditions and beliefs which shape their thinking. They see little value in formal education, believe their children should learn by "doing," burn other travellers' tents or trailers when they die, and do not participate in legal or formal wedding ceremonies. They also have fairly rigid notions about gender roles—a girl who participates in "manly" activities like hunting is labelled a "split mechanic" and supposedly will not find a husband. While the travellers do not have homes, they all cherish certain special places which they return to so they can find peace.
