The way of life you are talking about died centuries ago. A community could follow the Hutterite example, buy up large tracts of land and live off an agrarian based economy.

But the nomadic practices of many native tribes is impractical in the modern era. Nor will you ever see anyone running down a buffalo on horseback with a bow or a gun any more.

Pretending that things can ever go back to something resembling the way they were before "we" showed up is of no use or benefit.
