Without exception, all 'pre-contact' G-H societies demonstrate the evidence of inter-group trade networks in their material culture, and argueably, in their non-material culture. A good example is pre-contact Plains First Nations objects that are decorated with dentallium shells from the West Coast. I would not at all be surprised to find some evidence of at least incidental contact (via trade) with the 'outside' modern culture in the material culture from this group. These people know that there are other groups, other ways of living out there somewhere.

That's kind of what I was thinking. If these people were unaware of any life outside their environment, and they suddently saw this helicoptor in the sky coming towards them, they could be at risk of having some type of existential meltdown. How would it affect them psychologically to suddenly find out that there is this completely huge other world out there, with people living in ways that they've never even thought of or could comprehend.
